Regarding a Community Voice caller who asked why we continue to re-elect the same council: Once again this summer, we’re going to watch our teenagers run the streets. Last year in Lindenwald, that’s what they did — run the streets. No pools, no money spent for our kids. Kids can just do without, but you can spend all this money for downtown to make it more trashy for low-income artists. What a joke. Please do something.

To all you people who love George Bush: That’s fine. Love him. All I know is that before he got in office, this country was doing pretty good. After he got in, this country was brought to its knees. I thought the buck stopped with him. If you want to try to pin this mess on Bill Clinton — well, Bush had eight years to fix it. He fixed it all right. It will take Obama eight years to fix Bush’s mess, just like it took Clinton eight years to fix Reagan’s and the first George Bush’s mess.

For the people complaining about Fairfield holding school on Memorial Day: I personally do not find it disrespectful at all, considering that Monday is actually a man-made holiday. People who really celebrate Memorial Day know that the real Memorial Day is May 31.

I cannot believe that Edgewood School District is spending $570,000 on a football field. People are losing houses and without jobs. ... What is wrong with these people? Where are the priorities? Spend it where you need it. Don’t be coming asking people for a levy. They need to vote those people out.

To the callers who have called about the LeapFrog Crammer: That’s just flat-out racist — to ask why they have English and Spanish on it. Just so the callers know, some of us parents like our kids to learn another language. My daughter is 3, and she has this toy. She is fluent in Spanish, thanks to this toy and other toys like that. Some people buy it so their children can learn Spanish, not so they can make Spanish their primary language. It is just another racist thing going on in Hamilton to gripe over a LeapFrog. If they don’t like it, throw it out in the garage sale. Somebody will buy it for their kid.
