It is that time once again — when laying around during the holidays, eating too much of stuff that’s bad for us, and generally being worthless forces us into wanting something better.
So, instead of actually getting up and doing something, we reach for our smartphones, tablets, laptops or — gasp — even an old fashioned pen and paper and make a list. We call these lists New Year’s Resolutions — or Things That Will Make Our Life Great But You Know as Well as I Do That We Won’t Actually Do Any of Them.
You probably haven’t noticed anything different about your Nashville Graphic over the past several weeks, but believe me ––– things have been very different at the office!
I’m sure you have found your paper to be full of the usual Nash County - local news and delivered, hopefully, on time.
Dear Editor:
The Newtown incident of violence as with the Aurora, Tucson, and Virginia Tech incidents brought out the gun control advocates. But is gun control the answer or must we really look to other areas. There has been little discussion of the mental health issues and the environment surrounding the perpetrators of these massacres.
