- Tattoo Parlor - Mad TV - Mental Illness - Dalton - Offensive Sign - Near-Death Experiences - Sports Photos Tattoo Parlor Editor, Times-Union: I am a local college student, and I was dismayed to read recently in the Times-Union that the woman who wishes to open a business in the downtown area of Warsaw, namely a tattoo and piercing parlor, with perhaps apartments and an art gallery, was denied a go-ahead, and her idea voted down. I personally do not intend to ever have a tattoo or a piercing, simply because that's not my style.However, I'm sure someone else would love to get one, and I have no problems with that.This, however, is only a small point I wished to make, for the record.

After her accident, many people were at the scene assisting her.
- Jail Concerns - Teacher - Billy Sunday Jail Concerns Editor, Times-Union: Recently in the Times-Union Monica Neff expressed her concerns about the cruelty the Kosciusko County Jail placed on inmates receiving "only" four visitors per month. All of us make choices.No one forces someone to commit a crime that lands them in jail or prison. But while they are in jail, the taxpayers must pay for their food, clothing, shelter and recreation. Want to discover cruelty? Find out what countries across the ocean do to inmates. It's time America got tough on crime and paid more attention to the rights and concerns of victims! The Kosciusko County Jail is to be commended for their four visitors per month policy; it's a reminder jail is meant to be tough.

I think it addressed the core of this tragic situation which faces our country. Some of the same questions have been in my mind."But where are they finding these people that they poll?"

- Bias - Not A Democrat - BMV Fiasco - Innocence Lost - Destroyed Property - Blame The Media - SB2128 Bias Editor, Times-Union: Media bias, as with many things in life, can depend on one's opinions and points of view.I can quote stats and figures obtained from various sources that would indicate a conservative bias.How much credence is put into that information depends on one's point of view. In view of the scandal overload of the present administration, I should think if there is indeed a liberal bias in the media, then a ground-swell movement calling for impeachment should have begun by now.
