Billy Bob, the mole exterminator; Home school a hot topic (Press-Register Sound Off)

Published: Sunday, September 18, 2011, 4:45 AM

Billy Bob will get your moles


-- If you are tired of having moles in your yard, get a cat. Mine keeps my yard mole-free, and the neighbors’. My neighbors adore him. Go, Billy Bob!

What qualifies parents?

-- I want someone to explain to me about home-schooling. What gives a parent the right to home-school their children? You have to go to school to get a degree to teach. So what allows these parents to teach their child? I think these kids should be in a school, public or private. I don’t think the state should allow any home-schooling, period.

You don’t know

-- To the person who called in about their neighbor who is home-schooling their child, you don’t know what hours they are teaching.

Home school needs rules

-- I think when children are being home-schooled, there should be some state guidelines to their education. I know three kids who are being home-schooled by someone who didn’t even graduate high school — she got a GED. She helps them a few hours in the morning, and the rest of the time they are watching cartoons.

Mind your own business

--  About the person worrying about the home schooling: You can spend six out of your seven hours now not worrying about your neighbor and their business. Mind your own business.

Wonderful AEA news

-- Your headline is “AEA’s Hubbert, Reed look to retire.” That is the best headline you could’ve had in decades. Thank you for this information.

Make it a casino

-- In regards to the cruise terminal, I feel like we the people need to pressure our elected officials to pass a gambling law, then we could keep that money that is spent up at Wind Creek, Florida, Georgia and Mississippi. We could keep that money in Alabama. I think the cruise terminal would be a perfect place, to have some sort of casino.

Blame game unproductive

-- I am disgusted by the comments, excuses and actions of our City Council members. They all participated in killing the curfew ordinance. The blame game is neither necessary nor productive. Voting on a curfew to make our city safer is.

Where are the parents?

--  Since when is it the City Council’s responsibility to be parents? These kids with pants around their knees and out at bars at 3 a.m., where are the parents? Why do we have to rely on police to pick them up? The parents need to do what they are supposed to.

Bars profit from minors

-- I read where the businesses downtown don’t want them to pass laws to stop minors from coming into their establishment, then I read where nine were caught selling alcohol to minors. No wonder they don’t want them to pass that law, because if they do, they are going to lose all the minor business.

City neglects Rolling Acres

--  Where are our tax dollars going in the city of Mobile? I live in the community of Rolling Acres. We haven’t had a street sweeper in this subdivision in well over a year. The streets are deplorable. Why can’t they get out and take care of this?

Air races, shows a waste

-- Another air race tragedy. Shame we keep spending all that money on airplanes that don’t fly right. You know they are worn out when they are that old. Air shows are a total waste of time and money, and life.

AARP is shrinking

-- Actually fewer and fewer of us seniors are joining AARP.

Bush’s wars make no sense

-- How dare you call and say our president doesn’t have any sense. Bush is the one with no sense. He started wars without money and without reason.

The law says kill them ...

-- Why are we paying all this for these criminals? They are sitting on death row, wasting taxpayer money. They should be put to death, as deemed by the law. They were found guilty. They need to be put to rest. What is wrong with you people? These are laws.

... And Perry follows the law

-- Everybody is talking about Governor Perry in Texas about the death penalty. Well, that is the law. If they are found guilty, they should die. That is what is wrong with this country now. We need to follow the letter of the law.
