QUARTER AND NICKLES DEBATE AT MELTING POINT by Tim Mauldin, PhD

"Our Campaign Will Give Them

No Quarter!"

Sparks are flying in an ongoing campaign and one of the leaders indicates that their campaign will give their opponents no quarter.  The group is conducting a write-in campaign to put Will Rogers on the State's Official Quarter.

The campaign has been heating up.  "One of our opponents, believed be to a follower of Senator Nickles, has been making vicious attacks!" Penny Cash said.  Cash is head of the group.  "We're buffaloed about what the Nickles campaign is doing!"  She added.

"We have even heard they are conducting a malicious and clandestine telephone poll asking voters if they would vote for the Will Rogers Quarter if they knew that Will Rogers was a known Thespian?"

Cash said the campaign has changed for the worse, but promises to fight back. "We're going to give them our Two Cents.  We've organized a 529 group, "Citizens for Funny Money."

"And, we're launching our own covert push-pull poll and we're asking voters if they would vote for a known Numismatist!  We know a fact that one of our opponents is a closet Philatelist.

"We're going to stamp them out!" Cash added.

SENIOR MOMENT - FAMILY FARMING

For over ten years there has been much made about estate taxes and how bad they needed to be repealed to save the familiy farms from being broken up. For the past several years we have been experiencing the worst drought conditions since 1932. There seems to be no place to turn to save a lot of family farms. Bankruptcy faces many of our farmers. When they start filing next winter, they face an unsympatetic and strict new code. The code includes having to go to meetings where they will be lectured on how they should have been better managers of their money and that they should budget their money better. The only problem is that there is no money to budget or manage.

Later, there will be no farm to claim estate tax exemptions on if some kind of assistance is available NOW. No bill in Congress assigned to committee is of help. No annoucement of future action is of any assistance. Help is needed NOW.

If action is not taken NOW there will be no family farm. I would think that a family farmer, and his heirs, would trade the estate tax exemption for some effective relief NOW.

SENIOR MOMENT - Sons

I am, in normal circumstances, by background and experience, a law and order sort of guy. We do something that we shouldn't, then we should have some kind of penalty apply or be put away for awhile so you don't harm other people or their property; 

I also understand:

• that you cannot let felons out of custody everytime there is some event that is a milestone in the lives of those in his/her family
• incarceration should be equally applied to all people.
• that political considerations of being soft on crime come into play in election year
• that some people, because of personality or behavior, should not be allowed amoung crowds of law abiding citizens

but, for just one time, couldn't a man be in the stadium to see his son play football?
