Parents

Punishing violent or disobedient students with violence is not the answer. Parents are the answer. Too many forget that they are parents and want to be a buddy instead to their children. Thus, the kids don’t have the guidance they need on how to behave. Parents, show love and kindness to your kids. If they act up, take away their privileges. Let them see what they do is wrong. They will respect you for being the adult in the family and will respect adults in general, such as teachers.

Broncos money

• In regard to the money rebate from the sale of the Broncos: If the City Council for Longmont is looking for ways to spend the money, instead of spending it frivolously, why don’t they fix the streets in this city that are in terrible, terrible shape? Just a suggestion.

• In regard to the article of council spending the Broncos sale money: Fiasco does as fiasco is.

Liberal news

It is not surprising that there are so many liberal-leaning messages on the TC Line when the only national news service is the Associated Press. Conservative viewpoints are fewer and usually come from single person opinions or editorials. It would seem more balanced to have a conservative national news service as well, to give the readers a balanced viewpoint.

Facts, not opinion

I think it’s time for the newspapers to start printing facts rather than subjective opinion. I would like to see facts, or I’m going to quit reading newspapers.

TC Line

I really enjoy reading the TC Line. I think it’s good for me to hear many different opinions, even those wackos that call in over and over and over with the stupidest ideas. I find it entertaining. Keep up the good work.

Balloons

A ballooning and ham radio club in the Midwest is claiming that their balloons have been shot down by military jets. They fly between 20,000 and 50,000 feet, and they report on wind currents. It seems to me the only purpose of those balloons is to get sucked into the engine of an airliner and taken down. The 1950s are over.
