Backtalk 10/16/2007

NOT WORTHY: I cannot understand why someone would have a stamp for Jack Kerouac. He was nothing but a bum. There have to be better people out there we can honor with a stamp.

Lowell

WITHOUT VALUE: Thank you, Dennis Shaughnessey, for writing what I've said for years: Jack Kerouac's writings aren't worth the paper they're written on.

Pelham, N.H.

NOT A FAN: Kudos to Dennis Shaughnessey for his comments about Jack Kerouac. I'm glad someone has finally called Mr. Kerouac for what he is, and has seen the truth about his literary ability. I appreciate his article.

Lowell

BUCKLE UP PUP: About the proposed bill for dogs: It's about time they passed this because some of these animal lovers have their dogs practically steering their vehicles and causing accidents. Hopefully this bill goes through.

Chelmsford

WHAT ABOUT KIDS?: About the bill to buckle up dogs: I find it odd that we're wasting our government's time making sure dogs are buckled up, when children don't have to wear a seat belt on a bus. What is wrong with our system?
Lowell

FOOLISH BILL: About the proposed dog-belt law: It's pretty ridiculous that they'll fine you $50 when the children who ride on school buses aren't buckled up.

Dracut

BACK TO WORK: How much longer is the town of Billerica going to waste money paying those three officers who have been paid to stay home for the last eight months?

Billerica

RISKY ROADWAY: Has anyone taken a look at the overpass at Interstate 495 going over Route 38 in Tewksbury? It's falling apart, rusted right to the struts. It looks like a dangerous situation. Is it on the list for repairs or replacement?

Tewksbury

SAFETY FIRST: What's with the lipstick having lead in it? Is that from China also? Don't we make anything here in the U.S.? Let's go back to the olden days -- if we can't make it, we go without. We'd be a lot safer.

Tyngsboro

LET IT GO: Why is the neighbor of Jones Farm making such a big deal of the small cafe with a couple of tables so you can sit for a piece of pie and coffee? Leave it alone; they're not bothering anybody.

No town given
