Key West Citizen's Voice

"To the person who called in about the missing billboard, it stated 'The U.S. Armed Forces welcomes you to paradise,' but I also would like to know what happened to it and who authorized its removal?"

"Teachers are paid in the Keys to work until 3:15 p.m., which means they only work until 3:15 and they don't need to work any more after that."

"I'd like to know what's going on with our country. You can't eat meat because of the mad cow disease, you can't eat fish because of the mercury, you can't eat chicken, which was the only thing left, because of the bird flu. What are we supposed to do? Are we all supposed to become vegetarians?"

"Financially, I've always done well by Republican administrations with tax cuts. They have saved me well over $70,000, but the devaluation of the U.S. dollar has lost me in excess of $3 million. I am furious with the way the administration mishandled the Iraqi war. This will be the first time I have ever voted against a Republican presidential candidate. There is no doubt in my mind, and especially my banking portfolio, that the Bush administration is destroying this great nation of ours."

"I've been doing about five years worth of yard work on my yard. I am dismayed that there is nowhere to compost it all. It just gets taken and burned in the incinerator, or I guess it's going to get trucked up to Miami. It's a shame that we have that huge field by United and White streets and we should be able to use that as a big compost pile. In fact let's grow some vegetables there. Come on Key West, let's get green."

"The sad part about these homeless young people is that when they finally decide to go home they leave tents behind, abandoning them on the streets of Key West."

"I'm calling about the annual report that the city put out. I thought that the annual report was supposed to list all the money that they got from the cruise ships, from the people coming off the cruise ships, from the parking meters and from the building permits and the police giving out tickets. I thought that was considered a report."

"This is to the person that said weapons of mass destruction still could be found. It's hard to find them because they don't exist."

"About the planes taking off against the wind and landing with the wind against their backs: This is wrong. They take off into the wind and you also land into the wind. I should know, I've been a pilot for 50 years."

"You know if you're coming into Key West and making a right on Roosevelt Boulevard and there's a pedestrian waiting to cross the street, I think there is a yield to pedestrians sign there. I sit there and watch from the other direction people just standing there waiting for 10 to 15 minutes in the morning trying to cross the street because of all of the traffic. What does it take to slow down a little bit and let somebody cross the street at that intersection?"

"Officials of Key West, did you see what happened in Marathon during their election? The same thing that's going to happen to you and for the same reasons."

"It has been proven through scientific research that cruise ships are harmful to the reef. I couldn't care less how much money the cruise ships are bringing into Key West. What we should care about is preserving the environment and spend less time worrying about making a buck."

I thought there was no homosexual agenda. Why are we seeing a rash of lawsuits trying to push the boundaries of "homosexual rights" since the Supreme Court's activist decision on homosexual sodomy.

Why oh why can't I marry my dog?
Oh why oh why can't we wed?
With his **** so long and his **** so short
He would be so good in bed.

I believe the only answer to all of this nonsense is the ratification of an amendment to the US Constitution which defines legal marriage as a union between a man and a woman. Period.

Failing that, at some point, a legal same sex marriage from one state will be denied recognition in another state, and the issue will become as intractable as the issue of slavery was prior to the civil war.

Maybe there is one more answer; and that is one in which the US Supreme makes law for the entire country.

"This year of all times it's more important than ever to let people know about the inequality," Geoff said.

What inequality might that be? Speaking of gay males, they have exactly the same marriage rights I do. I can marry a woman, with some restrictions, so can they.

As for life ins., wills, etc. they can name anyone they want.

They are after acceptance, to make them 'feel good' about themselves.
