Save your energy Attention: If you write something for the TalkBack section to complain about the dumb things some people do, save your energy, because the guilty parties are most likely too dumb to read or understand that the complaint is about them ...

Stolen magnet I had a magnet sticker on my car that said “Cancer Sucks.” I am a cancer survivor, and somebody stole it off the back of my car. No access I’d like to know why the new USC Aiken pedestrian bridge doesn’t appear ...

Reflective Thank you, Aiken runners and walkers, for wearing reflective clothing and lighting. You make my neighborhood safer to drive at dusk or later. I especially enjoy seeing the blinking LED lights and the pet reflective gear. Do you really ne ...

Police gear Sandy and Scotty did not die in vain. I have been comparing police and soldier protective gear. Kevlar vests have protected our officer's hearts for some time. Head, crotch or other vital organ protection is the present additional focus b ...

Ticket bicyclists Will our law enforcement please start ticketing bicyclists who do not follow the rules of the road and do not adhere to stop signs or yield signs? If they continue on, we will have more and more bicyclists hit by cars, and they dese ...

Dead town In response to the call on the ghost town TalkBack: Without SRS, Aiken would not be a ghost town, it would be a dead town because even the ghosts wouldn’t want to stay here. Teary-eyed I would like to respond to a thank you that the A ...

Air Force One I am sick and tired of people talking about our president and using Air Force One to fly around the county. To conduct business, he must fly to these foreign countries. How is he supposed to get there? Walk? Or do you want to take him? ...

Are you serious? I hope the comment about the road to Cracker Barrel was not serious. You could build an interstate system quicker than it took to pave that little road. TalkBack comments I am aware that TalkBack is for people who want to leave compl ...

Thanks, SPCA I wish to express my appreciation to Gary Willoughby, Aiken SPCA president and CEO, for his excellent Animal Connection columns. I really look forward to reading them. USSCA? Have we become the United Socialist States of Communi ...

Call SCDOT To the person complaining about the dead possum in the road, you don't call the county or city to remove the carcass. You call the South Carolina Department of Transportation. SCDOT's number is 641-7665. They don't know about dead animals ...

Not your business To the person who said stop whining SRS, it's none of your business. If you're not out there, you don't know what goes on. Class warfare I am sick and tired of fair share, fair shake, fair shot. My husband and I have a combined inco ...

Singing praises Let it be known that Sheriff Hunt and his wife went beyond the call of duty to help my family in an emergency situation after hours Thursday evening. I will continue to sing his praises. Solar flares I just read in the Huffington Post ...

Spelled with 3 e's We had spell check on how The Willcox is supposed to be spelled. I'll give you another one: Berkeley Street. There are three "e's" in Berkeley. B-E-R-K-E-L-E-Y. I happen to live on that street. I am very tired of people sending me ...

Medical benefits Does that mean that President Obama, his family, members of Congress and the slew of exemptions will all be included in Obama-care? Or, better yet, that we all will be entitled to the same medical benefits that they have? God is real ...

Moving out If you are a grown man or woman and had to move in with your parents because you lost your job, big mistake. They will turn on you. They will ask you to move out before you get back on your feet. Big mistake. Repeat TalkBacks Why are we se ...

Relay For Life I see that this year's committees are getting organized for the Relay For Life campaign against cancer. Lord, help us find a cure. But the reason for this note is to ask those volunteers and organizers to pick a different side of town ...

Is enough, enough? There is a glaring flaw in Mr. O'Reilly's argument about at what rate investment income should be taxed. Money available for investment has to be earned or inherited first, which means it has already been taxed once, twice or sever ...

GOP calling I agree with the one who called about Republicans calling your home. They call all the time. I'm sick of them, too. I don't have time to listen to it. 'Red Necks R Us' While driving on Wednesday, I noticed that not only are local drivers ...

Gov't work The "capitalism" reply missed the entire point. Side by side you had a private business, eager to finish construction and begin their business. The workers were there until late at night because they had incentive to get the job done. The ...

Thank you, Dr. Brown To Dr. Cynthia Brown at Aiken Animal Hospital: Thank you for the loving care you showed. We love you. Back to the U.S. Day after day I've seen the news about other countries. What about this country? What about our people? I'm si ...
