Perry is as transparent as black ink.....excuses, excuses, excuses. If it is as big of a deal as what he thinks it is, Perry should confront White during a debate and pull out your magic bullet while all are watching. Or, are you afraid that White will expose all the bone head things you've done while in office?

Everyone is entitled to there own opinions when it comes to the death penalty and I will not argue with you if yours is diffrent from my. I saw what michael did to his family and in THIS case, the death penalty was deserving. I saw first hand his distruction and I sat threw his trial so I am very well informed of the facts of this case. Sometimes we may jump to quickly to ask for the death penalty but not this time. I believe this case should be taken back to court for punishment and let the jury decide.

What a sad day for Lubbock's cats and dogs. The first step in making Lubbock a "No Kill City is to become a "No Birth" City. Responsible pet owners spay/neuter their pets. Only irresponsible pet owners (with a few exceptions) fail to pay/neuter their pets. And look at what it costs the City's taxpayers to clean up behind the irresponsible owners. And then there is the issue of dog fighting, aggressive dogs in the neighborhoods and puppy mills along with back yard breeders. A well written and enforced spay/neuter ordinance will address those problems. It's hard to catch dog fighters in action but their dogs are unfixed 24/7 making it much easier for authorities to spot them. A well written S/N ordinance would have every dog fighter in Lubbock moving those dangerous dogs out of the neighborhoods and out of the City. %50% of all serious dog bites are to children under 12 years old. 75% of all serious dog bites are from unfixed dogs. Spay/Neuter just makes so much sense. I'm sorry Mary Beth lost her monkey but that's no reason to leave small children open to injuries. Lubbock should do what Austin did and develop a program to offer free and low cost spay/neuter to those who can't afford it. In Austin the payback to the City has been $2.00 saved for every $1.00 spent. Too bad for Lubbock's cats and dogs; too bad for Lubbock's tax payers, too bad for Lubbock's small children and too bad for Lubbock's neighborhoods that the (Ir)Responsible Pet Owners Alliance had to interfere in the business of Lubbock's citizens.

so why have they not started fixing the sinkhole just east of Frankford on 98th? Do they really have to purchase all the homes in that area before they can begin fixing the road where all the construction cones are? And does that whole sub-division have the probability of sinkholes starting to spread into the neighborhood?

hm, there was a comment here earlier that said 'what does succumb mean?'

'succumb to injuries' means that someone DIED. Look it up.

Could you please post the clip that went with this stoty. Thank you, Danelle Perrin Kenner la

I totally agree with the first comment. I also believe that if we say that our students don't know how to use a dictionary, then maybe the teachers need to start teaching how. Hmm, what a novel idea. We try to make things "easier" for children to learn, but it seems that we are failing to teach them basic things, like opening a book. Really! I'm not even sure kids today know what an encyclopedia or a card catalog are... I am only 30 and I believe that kids still need to be taught (and sometimes made) to crack open a book. They are not beyond that and guess what, it won't kill them! Apple is not the answer for everything. The bottom line is that the kids don't know how to use different resources simply because they are not being taught. Quit waisting the parents time and money trying to stay on the cutting edge and teach our kids!! Besides, if you watched the little video on the subject all the kids have a computer sitting in front of them and I'm sure that they are all connected to a wireless network...
