Our Views: ID duel just a tempest in a voting booth
As Election Day nears, along with the voter registration deadline (Oct. 8, a week from Monday), the process of voting is again in the spotlight.
Our Views: Who are the '47 percenters?'
This election year already is being known as the battle of the viral videos, bringing us deeper into an era when we judge candidates more for what they "meant" to say than what their words clearly tell us.
Our Views: Freedom under fire
Sometimes, the timing of events is the perfect way to illustrate a lesson worth learning. In this case, we observe Constitution Week beginning Monday, following a week of worldwide protests that sparked a discussion over the U.S. Constitution's most cherished right. That would be the one found in the First Amendment and published each day at the top of this page. No passage in the document means more, or is more widely debated, than the ...
Our Views: US now 11 years into new ‘normal’
Little did we know, 11 years ago today, that within 48 hours our lives, our nation, and our world would be changed forever.
Our Views: The job before us
It's fitting this year that Labor Day falls between the two national political conventions. In no election in recent memory has the issue of jobs been bigger than in this fall's vote.
Our Views: Tourism dollars fuel Ga. economy
As Labor Day weekend approaches, the heat and humidity are easing up a bit, the kids are back in school and we prepare for the rites of autumn.
Our Views: It’s Act III of election year; here’s your cue
For many Georgians, the 2012 election season has been a three-act play - part tragedy, part comedy - that is moving toward a final curtain much too slowly.
Our Views: A loaded debate
It doesn't take long for the smoke to clear from the latest shooting incident before politicians, pundits and amateur sociologists get out their magnifying glasses to determine why such horrible acts occur.
Our Views: A matter of trust
Tuesday's primary vote rejecting the transportation sales tax in the Georgia Mountains Region and eight of the 12 other areas in the state begs many questions.
Our Views: Roads sales tax is vital to manage our growth
Tuesday's Georgia primary ballot offers many interesting races to lure voters, and early voting figures indicate they are responding.
Our Views: New laws alone won’t make Lake Lanier safer
Nothing casts a pall over summer like the tragedies we've seen on Lake Lanier. Though the number of serious accidents isn't yet that great, a few high profile events have caused a great deal of pain, and pointed out the need for greater safety.
Our Views: Effort to strip chairman’s power is campaign grandstanding at its best
When it comes to cities and counties, there is no perfect system of government, largely because there are no perfect elected officials.
Our Views: Price of security
When it comes to government intrusion, many of us nowadays throw our hands up in the air and ask, "Now what?"
Our Views: Another battle won, yet the war goes on
There was some good news this week about Lake Lanier. The Supreme Court, in the midst of one of its busiest weeks in memory, brought us closer to a solution in the tri-state water wars without actually producing a decision. The court chose not to hear the case brought by Alabama and Florida to challenge a ruling by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals almost a full year ago. That decision overturned the harsh edict ...
Our Views: The wrong fix for immigration problem
One way you can tell it's an election year is not only by the campaign ads and signs that litter the airways and roadways. Another clear indicator is when a public official launches a new policy plan clearly aimed at voters, or a specific group of them.

Our Views: Beware the buzz
It's hard to ignore the world around us with so many ways of communication available to people of all ages and parts of the globe. As more of us connect with each other through mobile devices of every kind, we find ourselves less isolated and more integrated, albeit often from a distance linked by satellite.
