Editor, It seems to be politically popular to throw an adolescent finger pointing tantrum over China’s truly deceitful role in the global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. But, the fact of the matter is the demon is long out of the bottle. So, what is all the current China bashing honestly about? Perhaps it is an expedient deflection to avoid accusations of a gross lack of diligent leadership. For now, our urgent national concern should be totally focused on how do we stuff the demon back in? Once accomplished, the time for mature reflective recrimination will surely have its day. Thomas Alan Kragh Polson
Editor, Acronyms have become a universal language these days. Let’s take the latest one affecting millions-and-millions in the field of medicine, COVID. It stands for Corona Virus Disease. Our MOA (Master Of Analyses) Donald Trump, knew all about the various COVIDs over the years, sta...

Editor, Being inspired by Ted Koppel in his interview on “CBS Sunday Morning” on June 7, I took notes. I think these notes reflect things we should each reflect upon and be encouraged to publically share over and over. President Donald Trump has changed the image of America. Over the ...
Editor, The upcoming election will be most interesting. Neither Joe Biden nor Donald Trump is very popular with the younger people in the USA. But these young people are our hope for the future. Young people are not known as avid voters. Hopefully, a majority of these intelligent young people will vote th...
Editor, I am disgustingly appalled by the notion that we should keep the names of pandemic victims a big secret. Sure, we need to protect personal discords against our names, reputations and privacies, but to have the name of a positive tested person not appear in the newspaper is a travesty against all h...
Editor, What is voting? Any decision (which breakfast cereal?) is a form of personal vote. It is an expression of confidence, safety, and hope in the outcome.
