THE RANT
TOPIC: Andre Agassi
NAME: Mary
RANT: Andre's humanitarianism to the Vegas Valley speaks volumes and overshadows the small fraction of his life that he used meth. I will focus on his many positives.
NAME: Linda
RANT: Do you ever wonder why celebs "tell all?" Is it to get back in the spotlight or sell more books? What in the world was the latest celeb thinking would be the benefit of revealing drug use? Did he consider the mixed message he is giving to hundreds of students whose lives he has worked to change, to keep them from violence and drugs? WHY, why, why reveal this and lose credibility ... regardless of the drug use happening years ago?
NAME: Suzanne
RANT: I think that EVERYONE makes mistakes throughout his or her life and celebrities are no exception. Really, was his meth use a secret? This should not be an issue anymore, as he is obviously clean and has been for a long time and works very hard to give back to the Vegas community and appears to be a wonderful father and husband.
TOPIC: H1N1 and County Workers
NAME: Anonymous
RANT: I have a friend who works for the county. He had a son who had confirmed H1N1 and then a week later he was sick with symptoms just like H1N1, and his boss MADE him go into work today. He is in a highly visible position and working in front of MANY children and adults. What is this county boss thinking? This is how H1N1 will become an epidemic and we all will suffer. This is our COUNTY dollars at work for you!
TOPIC: Wynn Tickets Sales
NAME: Angela
RANT: I have lived here since 1966 and never have I heard of what Mr. Wynn has proposed ! I don't care for Garth Brooks. I wouldn’t pay a "real" copper penny to see him. Regardless, the rules for scalping do not apply to eBay yet. I agree with a earlier RANT ... lay the ground rules first. It’s not like he didn’t know eBay was out there.
