Quite surprisingly, it was slim pickins this week. A few Vox contributors actually made decent points. Regardless, here are your Vox Populi Gems of the Week.
Honorable Mention:
"I've lived in Chatham County since 1942. Bring MLK back to what it was? I've seen it. It was just a dumpy street."
- I totally agree here. Well said, friend.
Third Runner-up:
"Why do you have to put vanilla wafers in banana pudding? Is there something else you can substitute?"
-You sure as hell can’t put Oreos in there. Save that for the chocolate pudding. Desserts should be separate but equal.
Second Runner-up:
"The price of gas should be raised to $5 a gallon for those who drive SUV road hogs."
- I think the price of gas should be raised to $10 a gallon for smug little hybrid-car driving hippies like you.
First Runner-up:
"Tuition up. Gas prices up. Taxes up. Looks like Isaac Newton was wrong."
- First off, that’s Sir Isaac Newton to you, punk. Second, he was not an economist, he was a scientist. He gave no opinion on the price trends of education, gasoline, or taxes. Of course, if you’re just reaching for a clever play on words, then you’re a giant douche.
And your Vox Populi Gem of the Week:
"Another year of youth football: time to teach the kids how to cheat and stack the rosters."
- Absolutely. Football is one of the few sacred places left in society where it’s not okay to be a loser. Should the government step in here and make sure every kid gets to touch the ball, score a touchdown, and win? You would like that, wouldn’t you?

Joe, you are sorely mistaken in this statement. The minute someone gives input to the Vox Populi, their opinion becomes null and void. With that said, I think we should start calling up "Vox" and making rediculous claims and see if they make the paper. It would be interesting to see where our comments would rank on "Joe's Gems". I bet they wouldn't even make the cut.
"The price of gas should be raised to $5 a gallon for those who drive SUV road hogs."
What the hell is that supposed to imply? Please define what "hogging the road" is. I hate this person. I hope they get hit head on by an SUV and die in front of their family.
Football is, after all, a wonderful way to get rid of your aggressions without going to jail for it. ~Heywood Hale Brown
