Regarding "Allstate Defends Rising Rates" (Business, Feb. 5): The recent hearings in Tallahassee to find out why we were lied to by "big insurance" remind me of the thousands of wasted hearings - at much cost to the taxpayers - in Washington, D.C. over the past 40 years: much ado about nothing because nothing is ever accomplished. These hearings are designed to provide cover for feckless legislators and regulators who never seem to ask the "right" questions. ...more

People talk about Christmas, but why don't they stop and think who made this earth? It was God above, not them. Christmas was our Savior's birthday and no one talks or says anything about our Savior Christ Jesus. He is 2007 years old; he is the only one that walks this earth for us, and they do not even wish him a happy birthday. People should look up once in a while and just see what is around us, and then thank Him for what we have. God is good, why not talk about Him. Maybe you would realize what we have. Uncle Sam has been taken out of Washington, D.C., and who is in there for the people, in there for us? No one is for Social Security and Medicare. At least "He" helps us. They are all too greedy up there when they take $4,000 away from the Social Security and Medicare, and people are trying to make it through. I can tell you why it is, it is all "dog eat dog" up there. They are just for themselves and you can't tell me they aren't. ...more

Why is it that there are so many American veterans out on the streets all around the country? We went into service for this country proudly, and yet there are 9,000 VA veterans out on the streets. We fought for the people in Washington, D.C. They send $11 billion over to Pakistan to help them. What I want to know is why when our servicemen and their families are having a hard time to live. We use to have Uncle Sam to help us, now there is no one. ...more
