Thanks to the person about the answer on Deborah Linz being in Dayton, Ohio. On your comment about the iPhones and computers being useless, you might be interested to know that not everyone can afford iPhones and computers, nor do they want them.

I despise Dollar Danny. He's done nothing for the average Charleston [resident]. His wealthy, snooty pals love him for making sure South Hills is always taken care of first. Meanwhile, we cannot get the city to fix human-sized potholes over near the Bigley Foodland.

Everyone seems to be asking who will pay if the federal cuts take place. The question should be: Who will pay if spending isn't cut and revenues don't rise? Future generations will be completely paralyzed by the debt burden <t40>...<t$> if we do not quit living beyond our means.

Federal agencies complaining they cannot handle 5 to 8 percent budget cuts need to look at some state governments and many private companies. They've been dealing with cuts far greater than that for years.

Gas prices will start to come down as soon as oil companies think their government subsidies are no longer threatened. Then they'll go up again if their pipeline is rejected.

At age 68, I can no longer climb high in tree stands. ... Compared to a young man, I am at a disadvantage when archery hunting. If it would be legal to use a crossbow when archery hunting, I could look forward to a more enjoyable hunting experience. The DNR would have to recommend this to the Legislature.

The president told the Republicans to put the meat cleaver away. It's time someone told him to ditch the Santa Claus suit and the big credit card.

The U.S. has said that we will place sanctions on countries that engage in cyber-espionage. Does that mean that we are going to place sanctions on ourselves? Oh, sorry, I forgot. There's one set of rules for the U.S., and another set of rules for the rest of the world.

Shelley Moore Capito is a member of a dysfunctional Congress that has the worst rating ever, and she wants us to elect her to the Senate. Not on my vote.

In 2010, 38,329 people died from drug overdoses in the United States. Outlaw drugs, not guns! Oh wait, we have outlawed drugs. How has that worked out for you?

I am one of the "all of you people" who voted for President Obama and thank God we are getting what this country deserves. Finally, a president who is intelligent.
