Letters to the Editor
Editor, Human extinction should be a “hot topic” for our world today. Right now, especially with the extremely good example our Middle East crisis is showing us, our world is watching the extreme devastation and killing capabilities of weapons of mass destruction. Add to this the threats of nuclear weapons of war use in the Russian conflict with Ukraine and it clearly demonstrates the need for making peaceful resolutions for these “human extinction” capabilities. Our nation needs to get its act together and be, as well as create, the powerfully formed and functioning democracy. Our nation and our world needs this now. Bob McClellan Missoula

Businesses who regularly donated goods to the food bank inclu...
Editor, I write this in deepest concerns of the tribes’ council in just simple words without any opinions from anyone in the community. This is just an opinion / question type message. Our tribal members are suffering and no one’s doing anything about it. And many years have passed since distr...
Editor, This letter was inspired by the very controversial and divisive political news coverage lately. I do firmly believe that as we humans navigate, manage, and live out our political divides, we need some inner peace. Our thinking totally affects each of our lives moment by moment. Read, consider, and...
Editor, In the decades after World War II, it came as a shock when Roger Revelle, at that time the director of Scripps Institution of Oceanography, warned that the surface of the ocean was becoming increasingly acidic and unable to absorb the rapidly growing carbon dioxide produced by the use of fossil fu...
