2008 ESSAYS, LETTERS, OPINIONS

12/29/08  What Goes Around Debatable Opinions; Letters to the Editor
Taking care of those who do not work is but one entitlement which it seems the writer of this letter would “remove”.

12/22/08  It’s OK to say “Merry Christmas” Debatable Opinions; Letters to the Editor
Let me say right up front that it is not my intention to marginalize and disparage any religious belief in this article.

12/15/08  Stupid Criminal Auditions Debatable Opinions; Letters to the Editor
What kind of criminal would go back to the scene of a crime to steal the rest of the booty?

12/8/08  Obama Will Revive FDR's “Failed” Policies Debatable Opinions; Letters to the Editor
I find hoping that one’s government will fail before it’s even inaugurated among the most despicable and unpatriotic stands an American can take.

12/3/08  The Failure of an American Triumph Debatable Opinions; Letters to the Editor
How could anything that The US "accomplished" in Iraq be a triumph?

12/2/08  A Matter of Space Debatable Opinions; Letters to the Editor
I realize that newspapers limit letters to the editor to a specific number of words. This might be the reason why Obama opponents never seem to find enough space for facts. However, like the couple from Boise, many seem to find enough space for poorly veiled racism.

11/28/08  The "Liberal" Media is Doing it Again Debatable Opinions; Letters to the Editor
“Ever since the attack on Sept. 11, 2001, our country has been safe.”

9/19/07  OpEdNews Interviews Greg Gerritt, America’s “Buy Nothing Day” Pioneer
The message of “Buy Nothing Day” surrounds the consumerism that seems to have overtaken Americans.

10/6/08  Only the Priveleged Need Apply Debatable Opinions; Letters to the Editor
In 2000, a majority of the citizens of the great state of California flexed their muscles, at least those who voted in the November elections. By way of the ballot box, these fine neighbors told certain members of society that they had no right to marry. In 2000, the citizens of California voted to exclude same sex couples from the super special marriage club.

9/28/08  What's in a Name Debatable Opinions; Letters to the Editor
Anybody know anything about The Democrat Party?

9/25/08  Who Really Owns the “Gloom and Doom?” Debatable Opinions; Letters to the Editor
A tornado is nobody's fault. A hurricane is nobody's fault. An earthquake is nobody's fault.

9/24/08  Pelosi Should Set the Table Debatable Opinions; Letters to the Editor
As it turned out, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi forgot the bring the table and, thus, had no place to put impeachment.

9/23/08  The United States is not A Christian Nation Debatable Opinions; Letters to the Editor
If those who wrote and approved The Constitution wanted The United States to be a Christian theocracy, it would seem that they would have been certain to include that fact in the law of the land. Alas, they did not and for good reason.

In his latest ad, Barrack Obama notes that John McCain doesn’t know how to use a computer and doesn’t know how to send an email.

The debates can be very interesting, even without talking about lipstick, pigs and Paris Hilton.

...I ultimately find this letter to be positive...

9/19/08  Is This Person a Plant? Debatable Opinions; Letters to the Editor
If you think that this man’s letter, which is entitled “Obama math”, is about Obama’s tax plan, then the brilliance of the letter has been realized.

9/18/08  Where's the Change? Debatable Opinions; Letters to the Editor
What I do is to go to Online Newspapers. Despite the name, these newspapers aren’t solely online papers as, say, OEN is. These are newspapers whose main audience might purchase them in print form, but also have an online site as well.

9/17/08  Alaska Letters Don't Support Palin Debatable Opinions; Letters to the Editor
All letters to the editor are debatable. Not many hot stories are broken via letters to the editor. They’re almost always based upon opinion and even the opinions aren’t always solidly covered by factual information.

The one word I’m not certain that one can use with other satirists that is perfectly legitimate in describing Roy Zimmerman is brilliant.

5/19/08  Want Ads: Unions Wanted Needed
David Johnson makes an excellent case why middle and lower class Americans should cease cheering for corporations and begin to join their fellow workers in reviving efforts to organize.

5/15/08  Jill Bolte Taylor: My stroke of insight
Be amazed!

5/1/08  They're Takin' Our Jobs!

...here's the catch.

4/14/08  Stop the Theatrics
This begs the question, “Whence did the myth that The Democratic Party is the party of the people come?”

2/1/08  The Progressive that Progressives Love to Hate
...the first shot across the bow at Ralph Nader because the 74 year old activist had the gall to give the American people a real choice in the 2008 presidential election.

2/1/08  It Ain't Gonna Happen
I listen to a very brilliant radio host almost every day. Thom Hartmann has taught me a great deal. He knows history. One of his callers said that his IQ grows 2 points every time he listens to Hartmann.

1/14/08  Is The Constitution Really That Unfair?
Recently, in the fifty-eighth year of my life, I began seriously reading The US Constitution.
