What is with people not stopping for pedestrians in crosswalks? Living next to a school on a fairly busy street, I see this on a daily basis. Not only do I see it, it happens to me. Nobody stops, let alone slow down. Its going to take a tragedy, before people realize when you see someone attempting to cross, stop for them.

Why do you think there has been such an increase in home invasions over the last couple of months? It seems like every couple of days there is one in the news. It's unsettling.

How many times have you been in a school zone and a car speeds through there like a sign was never posted? Or you are driving 20-25 mph, the posted speed limit in the zone and a car is tailgating you with little patience? Are school signs foreign to some people in the Treasure Valley?
Unfortunately, the police can not be stationed in school zones all of the time to monitor the traffic, nor should they have to. I am glad that in some school zones they have now installed the flashing light that seems to slow more motorists down.
I get so frustrated with people who do not obey these signs posted for the children's protection. What is it saying about how we feel about our youth?

Canyon County has a lot of new restaurants. Which one should I not miss?

Can anyone believe the gas prices?? They are raising everything from the price of gas to cost of living!! Are they raising our amount of income???

What do you think about the cost of living for retired citizens? I think is not fair, after some of our retired citizens served in the war! they deserve better Medical Benefits/Housing. We owe them that much!

The 2008 Old Farmer's Almanac predicts that this year we will experience the hottest summer on record. What do you think? Going by the "olden days" signs, is there anything you see that would substantiate the Almanac's claim?

Bush Hamdan the senior has put in his time and probably deserves a shot at running the team, but I feel that Kellen Moore is the better QB even as a freshman, and it would be better for the team to start a kid who will be here for 4 years. What do you think?

Why is it that people don't know how to drive on Midland Boulevard in Nampa? There are several intersections where there are two lanes in each direction, but every time I use the outside lane, someone glares at me like I'm doing something wrong. What gives?

Should emission testing be mandatory in Canyon County? Why or Why not?

The Idaho Vandals have found a winner in Idaho State Bengals coach Jon Newlee for women's basketball. Is this the man who's going to going to turn the Vandals around? Or should he have stayed at ISU and continued to build the program?

What sentence would you give Joseph Edward Duncan III, the vile, subhuman rat-filth who slaughtered an Idaho family in order to kidnap, rape and torture two children (before killing one of them, too)?

And don't just say "death." Be creative.

Seems there are many heroes amongst us here in the Treasure Valley and one that I truly admire is Boise DJ KeKe Luv.
For those of you that did not follow this remarkable story, let me fill you in. KeKe Luv stayed awake and on air for 175 hours straight, that's 7 days to add awareness and raise money for child abuse. There are huge health risks at doing this but he truly believed in the cause and dedicated everything he had in doing this. I have heard many say that this was another media ploy to gain listeners as he was also breaking a world record. I say, this is not the case. Although KeKe did break the world record, it was never formally registered with the Guiness Book of World Records as the radio station and himself did not want to take away the importance of what this endeavor was really about.
I followed his story over the 7 days that he remained awake and live on air. It was very heartwarming. The callers that called in to share their stories were amazing, many of them tearjerkers. Many people called in...

What should be done about the foreclosures? There was a 85% increase in March of foreclosures? Are there any measures that could assist homeowners and prevent foreclosure?

What are your thoughts on the polygamist group's 465 children that were rescued from the Texas compound? Should the children be allowed to return to the camp with their mothers? Shouldn't the mothers more forth coming with the events that take place inside the compound? Should criminal charges be pressed?

The mothers first priority should be to protect their children. Women that have escaped the camp and spoke out and confirmed the events that take place inside.......

Some say Gov. Otter wants Idaho to get back to its agricultural roots. Others say the current administration supports the state's technology sector with generous tax incentives. Do you think Idaho's agriculture is more important than its technology? How far should the state government go to get jobs here and keep them here?

U.S. soldiers continue to die. The war in Iraq is costing billions of dollars and we've been there for years. Is now the time to leave? What's our mission there? Has it been accomplished?

Can the Broncos go undefeated this year? Or will it be another three-loss season? The Oregon away game could be tough.

Are the Cowboys crazy to go after Pacman? He could be trouble. Is it worth it?

Ever feel like you are being watched for no good reasons other than you are Hispanic-looking and happen to live in Nampa? Why are Nampa Police running license plate checks or criminal histories, or whatever it is they are doing on their computers in their cars, when they are stopped behind a law-abiding (and LEGAL for that matter) Hispanic motorist?? Why the extra scrutiny??

Bloggers like to criticize Canyon County. Homes are cheaper here, but is the quality of life better than in Ada County? Do you think there's more crime in Canyon County?

What's your take on the Nampa Library controversy? One library board member seems to be on the fence. Should the books be banned from the facility alltogether?
