SoundOff
  • Traffic, bad drivers, tickets on minds of several readers
    Traffic, bad driving and getting a ticket were a few of the issues readers of the "Sound Off" line chose to comment on this week. Below are thoughts of some of our readers:
  • Readers share their thoughts on the good & bad
    It was a combination of the good and bad as "Sound Off" readers offered up their comments and opinions over the past week. Acts of kindness and generosity were cited but several people commented on the continuing downward spiral our economy seems to be trapped in with no obvious efforts being made to bring it out of the tailspin.
  • No central theme catches readers' attention
    Readers of the "Sound Off" commented on several issues this past week, but there was no central theme that drew the most comments. Opinions were voiced on drivers, Washington and several folks responded to comments made in last week's column.
  • Readers focus on police & grandparents' rights
    We finish this week's "Sound Off" comments with today's column in which readers focus their attention of police officers, grandparents' rights and several other issues.
  • Catching up with the large volume of comments
    Comments from our readers came in to the "Sound Off" line in such volume over the past weeks that there wasn't enough room on last Tuesday's regular column to include them all. So we're starting out today with many of the "leftover" comments and will print others on Wednesday.
