My question is to the parents of children in West Virginia. I believe in climate change. How can you as a parent not be concerned about your children's future. I chose not to have children but I still believe in climate change. But you're not worried about it for your children?

Instead of calling Marshall the Thundering Herd, they should call them the Whimpering Herd. They cannot only not play football, they cannot play basketball.

Yes, marijuana should be legalized in West Virginia.

I wonder if the people who filmed "Buckwild" went to a WVU football game and burned a couch or two?

Please have the Boone County deputy sheriff explain why he was at the Southridge shopping center if he wasn't on duty and pursuing a criminal. It doesn't seem right to me. He should have stayed in Boone County.

When all those people who are voting for the right-to-work law get sick, fired, demoted, who will stand up for them? I remember those days of the past. That's why we now have unions.

We always knew that poor old Joe wasn't intelligent, now he's coming out against freedom of speech. The more we protest "Buckwild" the more we show the country that we have a hang-up. Come on Joe, lighten up and let's laugh at ourselves, OK?

I agree 100 percent with your article Sunday about shopping local. You could also add that it's a lot better to go to the store and actually see what you're buying and read the instructions or try it on rather than having to take a chance on that and wait forever for it to come.

I have a comment about the two Charleston police officers -- one was arrested for DUI and being involved in an accident. How can someone be placed on administrative leave with pay? That wouldn't happen to a regular citizen. They don't get paid to miss their work.

Can someone please find out from Suddenlink what's going on with the services in the Julian area? We have not had adequate phone, Internet or cable since June and frankly I'm sick of it.

I checked on the tickets at the National Guard Armory in Millwood for the Dec. 22 concert for Landau Murphy and they are $45 each. I'd really like to see him, but really, come on. And three days before Christmas? Sorry, I just can't do it.

I see that the Manchins were able to get one of their buddies from Randolph County elected to the school board, so now they have no opposition and can run the schools any way they want to.

I've met several people who think the gas line explosion in Sissonville is God's punishment for allowing "Buckwild" to be filmed there.

If our country is as bad off as fat cat Republican financial experts say, why aren't they dumping their stocks, instead of adding to their positions?

Well, well, well: Dr Phares appointed temporary superintendent. Who would have guessed it. And a national search for a permanent appointee -- what a farce that will be.

Do you really believe Jim Phares' appointment as temporary state superintendent schools is really temporary? Come on now, who does the state board think they are kidding?

I no longer have any desire to watch a Bob Huggins-coached team play basketball. I would rather watch paint dry.

Oh, for crying out loud, Mr. Linger, do you think we're stupid?

To the person who commented on the Obama's Christmas trip. I would love to own the hotel and/or the travel agency that would charge $4 million. Please, I think you need a reality check. You are obviously a sore election loser.

Obama Democrats turn everything into white vs. black, rich vs. poor, worker vs. company, union vs. non-union, employed vs. unemployed, religion vs. non-religion, gay vs. straight. Yes, Obama and his followers have divided this country.

I remember the days when lawyers were not permitted to advertise on TV, etc. Nowadays, they all specialize in getting just about anybody on disability, and between the deadbeats that apply, the shysters that represent them and the crooks that hear the cases, all ethics are gone.

Thanks so much to the lady who returned my lost wallet in the parking lot of the Drug Emporium store in Kanawha City. You are a very special person.

Thanks to all residents and businesses who have decorated so nicely for the Christmas shopping season, which ends on Dec. 24. I hope you will leave the decorations and lights up for the real Christmas season, which begins Dec. 25 and runs through Jan. 6.

Congressional Republicans are right: We need to reduce federal spending. I'd estimate stopping Ron Reagan's PIK (pay in kind) farm subsidy to fat cat Republican farmers would save over $20 billion annually.

Do the family members of the sniper victims really expect the federal people to investigate the police agencies that handled the investigation and find fault with these agencies?

Hey taxpayers, we get to pay for Michelle Obama's million-dollar vacations for four more years. We're so blessed.

Ending the Great Depression was not the primary purpose of FDR's programs. They were created to help desperate Americans survive and live a better life. The economy should serve the people, not the other way around.

Our dry newspaper replacement was put on the porch. What a concept.

For those wondering how Marshall can have such good players and such a bad season, I'd have to say good recruiting, bad coaching.
