For over thirty years I have dealt with union and non-union businesses. In my honest opinion the non-union workers are harder, more productive workers and the companies are much easier to work with.
Does anyone know of an optometrist in the Charleston area that carries extra-wide eyeglass frames that are stylish and reasonably priced for women?
Asking if we want teachers armed and prepared to defend students, reminds me after 9/11 the issue arose about arming pilots. G.W. Bush opposed that idea, saying we would just shoot down the plane.
Republicans are more concerned about our children and grandchildren inheriting the national debt than they are about them being murdered by a crazed nut using an assault weapon.
Teachers are told to lock the door, darken the room and hide kids in the corner during a Code Red. I have a great big closet with a door that locks which would be much safer in a real emergency, but probably less safe in a drill, than putting kids in the corner. Teachers should be able to use discretion and take kids to the safest areas of the room in a real emergency -- just like the teacher from Sandy Hook who put the kids in the restroom.
No politician should be allowed to oppose gun control unless he or she is willing to let guns into the Capitol building, the galleries of Congress, or the White House, depending on their office. If we have to live with them, they should have to also.
Two more idiots with guns on the rampage last week. Thirty-four murders by guns every day in the U.S. When are we going to stand up and do something about this?
Liberals love to proclaim their 'pro-choice' beliefs except when it comes to joining unions.
To all you union haters: I would like to see all of you paid by company scrip and be required to live in company housing.
One guy tries to board a plane with a bomb in his underwear and everybody now has to be scanned or patted down to get through security. Thirty-one school shootings since Columbine and we do nothing.
I see the psychopathic and lumpish Republicans speaking daily against the defenseless poor in our society without just cause other than policies they themselves created. It's their financial policies that pay the poorest workers a minimum wage below the livable amount. Capito and the tea party of the GOP voted against a jobs bill that put us in this situation.
Keep Dr. Marple. Fire the incestuous state Board of Education.

After much talking about it, nothing will be done to prevent future school shootings, and six months or a year from now we will probably have another one. And another one. And another one.
I'm proud to say I voted both times for President Obama. I have yet to meet anyone who said they were proud of having voted for George W. Bush twice, but I have talked to some who said they were sorry they voted for him.
Good job DOH for the fast repair of I-77 after the pipeline fire. Now, can you please install a crosswalk at Kanawha Turnpike and Chestnut Street for the safety of South Charleston High School students, as the city and school has been asking for years?
What has happened to this world when parents can't safely send their little children to school? Pray for the parents and community of Newtown, Connecticut.
For the eleventh year in a row. Fox News is number one in the ratings. They get the high ratings by reporting facts. Not opinions like the other networks. Maybe Charleston Newspapers should try following Fox News' example of how a news source should operate.
With the Democrat plan we'll cut military funding while providing more benefits for the lazy drug users. Without a strong military we're sitting ducks for attacks. You could still lose your Medicare even under the Democrat plan.
Non-union may mean lower wages but it would mean profits for the companies. They would locate here vs. overseas. More jobs for more Americans would mean more taxes paid. Not less. Unionized liberals can't understand that.
35 bowl games. 70 teams. Playing in a conference that makes the Big East look tough, Marshall couldn't get into any of those games yet their fans are playing games with numbers to say the Herd is a better team than the Mountaineers. And they wonder why nobody respects them.
Corporations and energy companies are allowed to run 'Buckwild' in WV by the politicians. We have no one in power to help we the people. From our judges to the Board of Education the world sees our state sullied.
The ridiculous article that has been getting too much attention about the stolen "baby Jesus" proves how stupid and naive many Christians are about the religion they profess to believe. The Bible plainly forbids, in the second commandment, the making of any images by which to pretend to worship God or Christ. It's called idolatry, but your corrupt pastors won't teach you that.
Why is it that companies can call you on numbers but when you try to call them back a recording says you can't.
The great United States of America cares more about drunk drivers killing children than it does about guns killing children.
America is simply broken beyond repair. We have kicked God out of everything and now we are paying the price. Our foundations are shaking and our future is in grave doubt.
