Dear Editor, Proudly, I am a senior at Frankfort High School, but now I find myself stunned by the allegations recently made against our school and district. I assumed that my fellow seniors in surrounding schools had been taught, as I was, to share their views in a kind, open-minded fashion. However, a few students must have missed that lesson... 

It is obvious the State Journal is unable to edit comments posted under certain articles before they go on the website...and in most cases it is unnecessary. Despite all the bickering and differing view points, everyone is free to voice their opinion. However, in the case of "Man admits to using Internet to lure teen for sex (May 4, 2008)",... 

Anyone want to comment on Oprah and her web class with Eckhart Tolle and his book "A New Earth"? To get things started, I'll begin with LOVE... 

In the United States of America they first came for the Smokers, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Smoker. Then they came for the Public Speakers, and I didn't speak up because I was not an Activist. (I'm an instigator!) Then they came for the FLDS, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a... 

I have watched the progress of the new KSU building on East Main for a good bit now. When the project started at the site I was skeptical each time I went by as to what this building was going to look like. Since it's near completion, I think it's one of the better looking buildings that have been built... 

As gas prices get higher I think more people will start using the bicycle as a means of transportation. I would like to remind car drivers and bicyclists that there is a place for each on the road. Car drivers should respect the bicyclists and likewise bicyclists should respect cars... 

I've been reading these "state-journal" comments and opinions for over a year now and I think it is now my time to speak out and give my opinion. I am very tired of of reading people talk negative publicity for the Franklin County School System. These school principals and school teachers are doing there very best to mold the school... 

Good Citizens of Frankfort, I was greatly heartened to see today's announcement of increasing tuition costs at our state's institutes of higher learning. Here: http://hosted.ap.org...AULT I was particularly interested to see that tuition to the University of Kentucky may soon squeeze lower-income students from its rolls. I say to you, bully! Why, the very idea that an education... 

It's been mentioned on several of the forums that Frankfort must have an obsession with food. I don't think that's necessarily the case. Once a restaurant opens there's an article in the... 

I was really thinking maybe Hillary Clinton until I read that her income (I guess her and Bill together) is around 109 million. Then there is Mr. Obama who must have slept through most of his church sermons over the past 20 years that... 

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- The U.S. Geologic Survey reports that an earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 5.4 has struck the midwest. The USGS Web site says the quake was centered near West Salem, Illinois, or about 40 miles northwest of Evansville,... 

To the 'undecided' voting in the KY democratic presidential primary: I ask you to vote for Sen. Hillary Clinton. I believe she is one of the most uniquely qualified candidates in our history, considering executive and legislative... 

I am not sure if anyone has the same opinion, but I have to share this. I think that Frankfort Animal Clinic is by far the best vet service in town, maybe within the next few towns. Their vets are thorough and they truly care about the... 

I am so disappointed that our elected officials found enough money for a five percent raise for themselves, but no one else. How shameful to try and balance the budget on the backs of state employees, teachers, and people that receive assistance in the human services programs. Shame on... 

It would seem that lately our politicians have some of the worst ideas I have ever heard of. For example a proposed budget cut for education when that person ran on the platform of bettering our schools. Another good example is casinos which was such a bad idea we had vultures hanging outside of the Governor's mansion, even they could... 

I am of the opinion that the "fair and balanced" solution to our budget problem is to increase the sales tax to 12 per cent. Then everyone will... 

Another reason to vote all incumbent legislators out of office. Entrenched politicians are the reason America is in its current economic condition. All they listen to is the lobbyist. Even today the Kentucky budget will be created by a few elected officials as the last few have, not all of... 

THIS IS IRONIC!! Charlie Pearl, goes around Frankfort telling lies in the newspaper! Or as reporter's like to say it, stretch the truth!! You know they have to get that story!! So in his mind it's ok to bullshit and run people and their lives through the sewer! But he likes to stiff people! In Every aspect of their lives!... 

I have only been in Frankfort for a few years now. I have lived in Indian Hills and now the Silver Lake subdivision. Some residents of Frankfort seem to think that leaving their dog outside to bark constantly is amusing to their... 

I wanna tell you something about Magees Bakery located downtown. It is sure worth the drive downtown to purchase some of their doughnuts and cookies. I bought some doughnuts the other day for a work function and they literally melted in our...
