Article offends local Christian

Editor, Daily Press:

This is concerning article, “Computer porn popular in Bible Belt,” in the Friday, Oct. 9, 2009 paper, by writer Teddye Snell.

I found this article, especially the first sentence, to be offensive to me, as a Christian and a member of a church.

Why not the next time you’re in a bar or honky-tonk, look around, or why not the next time you’re at a ballgame, take a good look at the person next to you?

Why not the next time you eat at a restaurant, take a look at the people sitting at the next table? Why slam church people?

It’s OK if you throw this letter in the trash, as I at least go to express my thoughts.

Poll

The use of cell phones while driving is increasingly becoming an issue. What do you think about cell phone use by emergency personnel, like law enforcement officers, EMTs, firemen, etc.?

• If the law allows the common citizen to use cell phones while driving, emergency personnel should be able to also.
• Emergency personnel should be held to a higher standard. Since they are often driving faster than normal, they should not be allowed to use cell phones while driving, even if other citizens can.
• They should be allowed to use them like anyone else, but their host entities (hospitals, fire departments, cities, etc.) should carry extra insurance for this reason.
• Don't know.
