BRACK: Here’s another example of us having too much government

By Elliott Brack | FEB. 11, 2020  | We’ve got too much government.  People in both political camps can agree on this.  It’s the way you go about governing that divides us. The question is where you put your emphasis on what government should do.

HOUSTON: Argument for Apple master key is a Trojan horse

HOUSTON: Argument for Apple master key is a Trojan horse

By Debra Houston | A couple years ago, I switched from a personal computer to an Apple iMac. Viruses ravaged my PC like so many Visigoths crashing down on the Roman Empire. Despite antivirus debuggers, brute malware, and lofty firewalls, I’d routinely visit the Geek Doc and plunk down a hundred plus dollars to sweep out the invaders. Those hundreds added up. I could’ve bought a new computer with what I’d spent on fixing one PC.

BRACK: Without good people involved, bad government will erupt

By Elliott Brack | All most citizens want in their life is to do their job well, enjoy their family, hopefully take a vacation from time to time, and be a good citizen. All most want out of their government is for it to work in the background by delivering services efficiently, and not cause a stir. That will make them happy.

For the most part, except for some recent exceptions, Gwinnett County governments pretty well do that. Yes, there are from time-to-time some headlines that make the county citizens unhappy, and yes, there are some frictions in one or two municipal governments.

Unfortunately, many citizens don’t involve themselves much with government. Most governments chug along trying to do a good job, and staying our of the headlines when it comes to shenanigans.
