Ignorant majorities call for unjust restrictions; Waterford needs more police, not secretaries; Gas prices jump arbitrarily - SOUND OFF: March 27

This is for the Royal Oak caller who has a problem with Royal Oak Commissioner Kyle Dubak for defending "the rights of the minority against the will of the majority." This is the reason why the nation's founders saw a need for the Bill of Rights. Ignorant majorities have a long history of trying to place unjust restrictions on religious racial and ethnic minorities, which never accomplished anything beyond causing strife. Let gays and lesbians marry.

I've got a question for the Waterford police chief who wants to hire more administration help. Why hire administration help when there is a need for police officers? Doing paperwork is part of what a chief of police does. The chief should stop spending time teaching at the police academies and attending all kinds of meetings.

I drove to Hollywood Market in Lake Orion and went by the Speedway station. Gas was listed at $3.58 a gallon. I came out of the market a half-hour later and gas was up to $3.91. What's happening in this world? What catastrophe happened? Did someone blow up another refinery? Or are we just sending more money to Syria? Does anyone realize we are being played for fools?

I am so disappointed in the proposed drilling in Waterford. We do not want it because it will lower our home values because the companies will drill under everybody's houses. We said "no" to drilling in Waterford. There are more than 30 lakes in the area and the township has its own water system. What are the officials thinking? The drilling will wreck Waterford.
