Should You Read Good News?

Should You Read Good News?

To the Editor: These days, we are bombarded with bad news by the mainstream media. We can scarcely open a newspaper or turn on the TV without being faced with the latest “scare-story” about swine flu, or another bank failure, or another trillion-dollars added to the national budget’s deficit. Reports giving dire warning of bad [...]

Health Care-AARP Has It Wrong

To the Editor: AARP has it wrong and NARP-National Association of Retired People have it right. Why does AARP think a government take over of health care could possibly be good for seniors?  I am one senior citizen that thinks AARP sold us out. I thought AARP was supposed to be for seniors, now I [...]

To the Editor: The breaking news was a total surprise. Football fans who had tuned in to ESPN to see a preseason game between last year’s two Super Bowl teams, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Arizona Cardinals, were immediately transfixed with the news that Michael Vick was the newest Philadelphia Eagle.

The Shame Of Politicians

To the Editor: There are some honest politicians- I hope! Why would a person spend millions of dollars to get elected to a job that pays $174,000 a year? Maybe it’s not because of the salary, but because of the PERKS. A person gets to fly around the world free and best of all is [...]

How To Lose Your Country

To the Editor: It’s easy to drift along with life entrusting your future to nameless others. Someone will look after you or take care of getting the garbage out to the road. Your leaders know and care about you. Not True if you don’t: Know them. Send them money. Work on their campaigns. Vote. If [...]

To the Editor: The Obama education speech needs to be a rallying cry for those of us living in the “greatest nation” in the world. Considering that U.S. has begun losing its competitive position to countries which put education first, it’s unlikely that U.S. can possibly continue to be the nation to which all other [...]

To the Editor: It is human nature to want to have nice things, and in most instances high quality purchases are a good choice because they last a long time and retain their resale value. There is nothing wrong with working hard for your success and enjoying the rewards of your labors. However, there are [...]
