Letters to the Editor for Aug. 2
Politicians need to retire at 80In one day, we had Senators Mitch McConnell and Diane Feinstein suffer extreme senior moments in front of TV cameras and the nation. I won’t repeat their travails, but both lions of the Senate are over 80 years old.
I’d like to ask the Mayor, Chief of Police and City Council what they plan to do to end the lawlessness on our city roads. Others have written about the same situation, but people are still being injured, if not outrightly killed on our streets. Is the city simply writing it off? I seem to recall a recent addition to the upper echelon of the city police saying traffic control would be his No. 1 priority. What I see is nothing happening.
Labels and displays will not help us. Our actions will speak louder, bringing justice for all. That’s what will guarantee and perpetuate our freedoms.Stop the fearOur country is infected with fear and polarization. Some feel that things are changing too fast and degenerating. Helplessness leads them to rationalize taking extreme measures to control and impose their beliefs on others — for example, women’s reproductive rights.
Of all the salient points made about the shortfalls that have beset our public school system, the most important ones are the lack of necessary funding, the lack of positive parent involvement, and the taxpayer subsidization of unregulated private schools.
