    The horrific tornadoes that ripped through Oklahoma this week bring back all too familiar memories for Alabamians as memories of April 27, 2011 are still fresh in many minds. When Alabamians were in need

    In my editorial on Tuesday I chided our legislators for being the last state to pass a no-brainer  bill legalizing home brewing.  Today I want to challenge them to be one of the first states to pass another no-brainer;

    Kudos, or perhaps, cheers to the Alabama Legislature for passing HB9, the home brewing bill. Legalized home brewing may not be up there with education reform or prison funding, but it was overdue.

Our "Denying Choices" editorial regarding charter schools in Alabama elicited these responses: 

"It's all politics." 

"This just proves these people really aren't looking out for the children's best interest!  Special interests rule and take priority over the kids." 

"Where are the people against Charter  Schools?  I am in the education field and I know of NO ONE who is against them." 

And our guest editorial  "Until We Get it Right" from Barbara Pugh Mayes regarding taking personal responsibility elicited these responses: 

"When I was growing up, I was told it's what you have, not what you don't have." 

"You got right to the truth that we should all strive to live by. We are all responsible for our actions." 

"Everything you said was right on!  This editorial should be read to every student in every school, printed in every newspaper in the country and broadcast on every channel.  These are truly words to live by."
