• Thank you Ron Dunnavant, Kicks 101.5 radio station, all the people who texted and anyone else who had anything to do with the Kellie Pickler concert at Etowah High School. Everyone had a great time, and it was awesome. • I feel so much better now knowing that it costs more for a gallon of gas than for a pack of cigarettes. • The only reason Atlanta has more potholes in their streets than Canton is because they have more streets. • That’s it, I’ve had it. If you are turning left, coming out of Canterbury Ridge, you need to yield to those turning right on Ridge Road. I have been cut off and almost hit several times. Yielding is the law. They have the right of way coming out of Ridge Road. • I’m watching CNN about the illegal aliens having another rally, this time in Los Angeles. As a citizen of this great country, I take extreme offense at seeing an American flag with a Mexican national flag against it, or embossed upon it, being waved around. • Northerners didn’t bring crime and drugs here to Georgia. Meth labs are run by all the rednecks, especially in Cherokee County. • To the guy who thinks the world is his ashtray: The cigarette may go out the window, but I can assure you, the butt is still in the car. • I don’t know why everybody is complaining about the 25 mph speed limit in downtown Woodstock. You can’t do more than 15 anyway with all the congestion. • Does anybody know whether it is legal to purchase a vehicle from a car lot in Georgia with a valid driver’s license from Mexico? • You gun-owners who think you’re going to protect everybody from crime with your concealed weapons are scarier than the dang criminals. • I’m an Akron, Ohio, grandmother of a 28-year-old Woodstock lesbian. After reading Soapbox, I know she’s happy there. • Let’s all hope the first Soapbox comment printed in Spanish in the April 30 issue is also the last one that’s printed in Spanish. • I love how people think that just because you’re from the South you’re a redneck. Like there’s not rednecks in the North. • I hope Hillary wins in November, too. • Was Fauve Holihan kidding? The three best candidates ever? We have the three worst candidates ever: A Democrat who calls himself a Republican; an extreme liberal elitist and a self-serving opportunist. Vote for the best of the worst. • Why do I bother to even do the 55 mph speed limit in the construction zone around Exit 19 when I get passed by people doing 80 mph? • Does anybody know when the new Kroger in Hickory Flat will open? • When you get all your Yankee friends down here and the rednecks leave, who will move all the trees out of the roads? There is no way a Yankee can chew Red Man tobacco and operate a pickup truck and a chainsaw. • Why does someone think it is their duty for some citizen to go around Woodstock pulling up other people’s signs? I paid $8 for them, and it had my address on it, so if they don’t like where I put it and wanna pull it up, they can return it to me instead of just stealing it. • To the comment about Republicans voting on Tuesday and Democrats voting on Wednesday: That’s how Republicans have won in the past, through lying and deceit. But that won’t happen in the next election. Go Democrats. • I did not realize how ignorant my beloved state of Georgia is until I had lived out of state for the past two years. Come on, Georgia, let’s get with it. • Why do the people who quote the Second Amendment leave out the part about a well-regulated militia? • Can anyone tell me what happened to the trolley that used to run through Canton? We’d like to see that back. It took a lot of people downtown. • Fabulous principals run a tight ship and hold all teachers in equal regard. • I’m not too sure whose job it is in Cherokee County to program the traffic lights, but they need to be located, and they need to be fired. • To all who plan on voting in November, why don’t you plan on also voting in the July election and find out if that goes smoothly for you? • All right, all you drivers, here’s another lesson for you: Green means go; red means stop. Yellow does not mean speed up; it means use caution. • To answer the question about who’s paying the cops in front of Home Depot in Holly Springs: Home Depot is paying for them. They’re also paying $100 a day for the fuel in the car, as well as the workman’s comp for the police officers at no cost to the taxpayers. • Thank goodness, it looks like Hillary is done and now the Democrats can focus on the important issue: Driving a stake through the heart of the Republican vampires. • I am a single mom raising two children and I am a waitress. I would like to thank the Northerners who have moved to the Canton area, because they are the only ones who know how to tip a waitress 20 percent. With the Southerners and rednecks, we’re lucky if we even get a tip from them or 10 percent. • Wouldn’t you think that “Got it done” is much better than “Git ‘er done?” • I think if the Cherokee County school system would learn to use it up, wear it out and make it do before they tear it down and build something new, maybe they could stop whining about money all the time. • I would love to know where the person who only paid an $8 water bill lives in Cherokee County. Our sewer portion of our water bill is $8 by itself, in addition to a $3.50 street light fee, even when the street light is burned out. • Why do people feel they have to carry concealed weapons into restaurants? I personally don’t want all these paranoid people to be armed while I’m eating my hamburger.
