Keep the change

This is in response to "Not a mathematician," in regards to going into a restaurant and the bill was $16.24 and the person gave a $20 and then said here's a quarter and he had to call the manager to get his change. She wasn't confused. She thought that was a tip. Can you believe it - a quarter tip? That would be so insulting.

I don't believe the caller was intending the quarter for a tip. I think he was paying and trying to get back $4.01 in change instead of $3.76.

We will not accept sharia

The Illinois governor is about to create an official state government Muslim council. I ask you why? This is a violation of the establishment clause. This is disturbing how the Islamic Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated our government. Islam was created first as a religion, second, military and then third, government. Illinois is our neighbor to the east. Y'all need to call and let the Illinois government officials know that this is not acceptable. Muslims should not have a voice in our government. We will not accept sharia. Illinois is losing their sovereignty. Is Missouri next? Wake up, America.

Cut it out, Catherine

Catherine Hanaway (campaigning for office of governor of Missouri) claims to adhere to the principles of religious freedom, yet thinks instructing the women of Missouri as to how to care for their health decisions as to early abortions portrays religious freedom. No, Ms. Hanaway, that is a religious belief and is not taught by every religion. You cannot pass off your religious beliefs as demonstrations of religious freedom so cut it out.

Wants to help Save Our Sons

The excellent story in Monday's paper about the Save Our Sons program was great. Is there a person to contact as to how to donate to help the local teams? If so, can you provide that information in SpeakOut. Thank you!

You can contact Reggie Robinson at 573-258-2431. There is also an account established for Save Our Sons at First Midwest Bank.

What happened to morals?

What is happening to the morals of the women and men in this country, especially the women? Men have more morals than women, I think. Don't these women realize what they are doing? If they see mama do it, then it's fine. Running out and having babies and stuff. I don't understand women these days. If somebody looks good to them, they just move them in. They need to stop it. I'm surprised that a lot of them ain't got an STD or something. The little kids aren't even gonna know what to do when they grow up. They have the mothers that have the morals of a dog. The men, some of them don't have any morals either, but seems like they have more than the women.
