Christmas display
The Town and Country FCE Club was very surprised and saddened to learn the County Commissioners agreed and passed a 300 percent increase in fees to $100 to display a Christmas display in the Cape Girardeau County Park. For many years it was free to display your Christmas display and a few years ago there was a fee of $20. This increase is huge and excessive. Is it the intention of the county commissioners to make it too expensive for the smaller group to have a display? Our club was one of the original groups to have a display when it was started in 1987. We are saddened we cannot afford to put up the display this year because of the increase in fees, and the obligation we have to helping other needy groups.
Divisive politics
I am sick of politics! I am sick of the obstructionist Democratic Party. We just went through one of the most hateful, divisive mid-term elections in our history and people are sick of it only to see that the Democrats are gearing up for every kind of investigation of President Trump that they can ever possibly think of. Why? They are still fuming about Hillary's loss and just can't let go of it.
Role of press
The press is not some great defender of democracy. The press has a job to do, and that revolves mostly around sales of their media and advertising within it. If asking rhetorical questions, grandstanding, and punditry is your thing then do it. But don't make what you do more grandiose than it is.

Christmas display: Is this a profit maker for the county....$20 is plenty - good grief Cape County Commissioners where is your Christmas sprit.
Divisive politics: Both sides are guilty but the Democrats seem to have the bigger half of divisiveness.
Role of press: True words....true news is a friend of the people whereas any fake news is the enemy of the people. The folks have to have their truth meters working.
And that's the way it should be according to Schaefer's World....Sunday November 18, 2018.

Rick, as one gets older I think your thoughts tend to turn to how, what you have experienced and not passed on in your lifetime, go away with you. And maybe it is not always what you have learned to do but maybe even more important what you have learned not to do.

Yes, isn't it amazing how people so wrapped up in protecting and promoting animal rights won't think twice about murdering this little unborn human?

Don't know where this fits, but thought provoking and worth watching............

We -- the Peoples -- believe life is a circle . We come to this side , learn , teach what we've learned , then go back to the other side . There is no "death" just a changing of Worlds .
……..…..
As far as abortion , methinks a woman and/or man and a woman can't accept their mistakes so they blame the baby instead of taking responsibility for their actions . Sadly , the baby pays the ultimate price for other's actions .
The Laws must be changed , if a pregnant woman is killed it's a double homicide . How can this be so if a baby isn't a person ?
