Page 14- The News, February 16, 2017 Bike riders behaving like spoiled brats... I am all for supporting more
sidewalks and bike paths in Nashville. However, I would appreciate that bike riders obey traffic signals. Over and over again I have seen them run stop signs and red lights. They fail to yield to pedestrian traffic, and in general just act like spoiled brats with no responsibility for their illegal actions! If they con- tinue such immature actions, I think the city should charge them an extra fee for bike rid- ing so that they can pay for more traffic enforcement! Grow up or walk!

two young women who were moving bags of chips around at a major grocery store yesterday, and they were just shoving the bags around as if they held stones, not chips. It became clear to me why I keep ending up with bags with lots of bro- ken chips; boxes of broken crackers; and cans with dents in them. Please, if you are work- ing at a food store, treat the food with respect. We all pay a lot of money to purchase the items, and remember, this is the same
food that you buy too. Rural area need more
attention Is it only important to draw
public attention to the needs of city folks in the country’s big cities? Sure, in these places is crime, drugs and all that goes with them: despair, hopeless- ness, fear, resentment, etc. But honestly, those big city dwellers did not vote for our President and do not approve of him. But we did and do: maybe except for some of our little cities.
In our fair state we are expe- riencing a big drug and health crisis that needs attention from our government. In our coun- tryside there are thousands upon thousands of our state’s citizens that are hooked on opi- ates: you know heroin in a pill. Every day we hear stories of good, God-fearing people that are caught in the low-life web of this drug. And we do not want it to get worse. Forget the crimi- nal activity in our state that goes along with abusing opi- ates, so many of our people need help. And that starts with drawing attention to their drug abuse.
It is time for our President to
draw attention to it, to our needs.
Get off my back I will be brief: you should
know that I am a senior, white- haired lady. I encounter people who ride my bumper - primari- ly because I obey street signs and slow down for walkers and bikers. I would like to have a bumper sticker that reads: “Riding my bumper will not get you there sooner!” Get off my back.
Be nice all you drivers- what would your mother say?
Move the bus stop down the street There is a very dangerous
situation on Abbott Martin at the entrance to Kroger. There is a bus stop very close to the entrance. Buses stop and when you are leaving Kroger to go west, you can’t see traffic com- ing from the east. The busses sit there for 10 minutes. I have seen multiple accidents, and some- one is going to get killed. This could be avoided if they would move the stop farther east. If that affects people exiting the other entrance in any way, the stop should be moved down the street, or even in front of Walgreens.

state legislature to "teach Nash- ville a lesson"! Some bozo legis- lators want to pass a state law that would take away a local community's ability to regulate the short term rental business in their communities. This mostly would impact Nashville since we are the city in Tennessee that attracts the most tourists and "party peo- ple". They come here to stay in short term rental houses in our neighborhoods and drink them- selves under the table while lis- tening to country rock music! Many of the owners of these short term rental owners don't even live here. They don't give a flip about our neighborhoods, they just want to make a bunch of money! Some of our legisla- tors who live in rural communi- ties are jealous of Nashville and our success. They are being lobbied strongly by the short term rental people, and are probably being given quite nice campaign contributions! They want to dictate to us how we regulate these "fun houses". I say to them, go back to your cows and pigs and leave our city alone. Nashville is perfectly capable of regulating itself!
Looney leftists, stop
harassing us Isn't it getting a little tire- some that every time you log into your computer you see another article of another 'brave' Hollywood celebrity or sports person telling us deplorables how they hate Trump. It seems to be a way to get a little publicity if you hap- pen to be some washed up sec- ond rate entertainment person that most people never heard of. What courage and intelligence these people have! The loving and tolerant left keep physically assaulting people that don't fit in their little world and making the most vicious attacks while Trump goes about his job and is actually doing what he said he would do. What a concept! There is an amazing article in Saturday's “Wall Street Journal” on Mexican officials and legislators and governors meeting in Phoenix to get ille- gals to challenge deportations in our courts with the intent of overwhelming them. (Not fake news, check it out). Can you imagine a bunch of U.S. offi-
