The world would be a much better place if people were as eager to adopt homeless children as they are to take in abandoned puppies. ]]> Fri, 17 May 2013 16:26:00 -0500 http://southtownstar.suntimes.com/opinions/speakout/20174779-474/speak-out-for-may-20-2013.html http://southtownstar.suntimes.com/opinions/speakout/20174779-474/speak-out-for-may-20-2013.html <![CDATA[ Speak Out for May 19, 2013 ]]>

I’ve got a lot of respect for Chicago Bulls players Nate Robinson and Joakim Noah, but you’ve got to lose before you win. ]]> Fri, 17 May 2013 18:49:39 -0500 http://southtownstar.suntimes.com/opinions/speakout/20173954-474/speak-out-for-may-19-2013.html http://southtownstar.suntimes.com/opinions/speakout/20173954-474/speak-out-for-may-19-2013.html <![CDATA[ Speak Out for May 17, 2013 ]]>

They let kids pet the stingrays at Shedd Aquarium.

The Rolling Stones will be in town soon. I’d like to see a picture taken of drummer Charlie Watts standing next to Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel.

The third time’s the charm. Jamie Doyle is back as mayor in Manhattan. I hope he succeeds in bringing the village back together and moving forward, as he stated his goals were in his recent interview. ]]> Wed, 15 May 2013 02:16:30 -0500 http://southtownstar.suntimes.com/opinions/speakout/20106265-474/speak-out-for-may-15-2013.html http://southtownstar.suntimes.com/opinions/speakout/20106265-474/speak-out-for-may-15-2013.html <![CDATA[ Speak Out for May 14, 2013 ]]>

In recognition of all the mayor has done for or to Tinley Park, I think Oak Park Avenue should be renamed Ed Zabrocki Drive. ]]> Tue, 14 May 2013 06:41:18 -0500 http://southtownstar.suntimes.com/opinions/speakout/20088563-474/speak-out-for-may-14-2013.html http://southtownstar.suntimes.com/opinions/speakout/20088563-474/speak-out-for-may-14-2013.html <![CDATA[ Speak Out for May 13, 2013 ]]>

I am proud to be an owner of a Ford car.

Whenever a tragedy happens like it did in Boston then they always say we’re going to have to step up security. Security should be 24 hours per day and 365 days per year. ]]> Thu, 09 May 2013 02:13:16 -0500 http://southtownstar.suntimes.com/opinions/speakout/19981508-474/speak-out-for-may-9-2013.html http://southtownstar.suntimes.com/opinions/speakout/19981508-474/speak-out-for-may-9-2013.html <![CDATA[ Speak Out for May 8, 2013 ]]>

To all Christians: I want to know if you have ever prayed for the most notorious sinner of all time — Satan.

I donate pet food to the local shelter. They need our help with supplies. I hope it saves animals from death and is not a welfare handout. Make sure people who adopt can afford to feed them. ]]> Tue, 07 May 2013 02:14:37 -0500 http://southtownstar.suntimes.com/opinions/speakout/19936645-474/speak-out-for-may-7-2013.html http://southtownstar.suntimes.com/opinions/speakout/19936645-474/speak-out-for-may-7-2013.html <![CDATA[ Speak Out for May 6, 2013 ]]>

Regarding “start seeing motorcycle” signs, we’ve seen motorcycles using the center lines to pass. This guy on Archer Avenue to Lockport cut off a semitruck because he was in a hurry. Rules of the Road apply to all of us. ]]> Mon, 06 May 2013 02:10:38 -0500 http://southtownstar.suntimes.com/opinions/speakout/19878222-474/speak-out-for-may-6-2013.html http://southtownstar.suntimes.com/opinions/speakout/19878222-474/speak-out-for-may-6-2013.html <![CDATA[ Speak Out for May 5, 2013 ]]>

I think the judge should sentence all Crestwood officials found guilty in the tainted water tragedy to jail time and community service on oncology floors.

Who’s excited about Dolton native Jane Lynch hosting the NBC summer program “Hollywood Game Night”? I think it’s cool how actor Sean Hayes’ game nights turned into a game show. ]]> Fri, 03 May 2013 02:12:14 -0500 http://southtownstar.suntimes.com/opinions/speakout/19860268-474/speak-out-for-may-3-2013.html http://southtownstar.suntimes.com/opinions/speakout/19860268-474/speak-out-for-may-3-2013.html
