Letters to the Editor
Editor, Our nation and our world are presently fac- ing a most critical point towards continuing living our lives together here on earth. There are two outstanding very present and important issues. 1. Climate change. We must properly activate our technologies and techniques to maintain human life as we know it. 2. Military might. This has habitually been our ways of handling inter- national conflicts. Our weapons development and their use must be replaced with peaceful negotiations and work- able solutions between nations These two factors in our human existence im- mediately need and re- quire our nation’s and our world’s attention. This requires top-level...
Editor, To cat lovers – there’s one in-town colony with 21 kittens. All I can do is feed them to stop starvation. Just a few years ago Life Savers helped to keep the Polson feral cat population somewhat in check. I’m still feeding some survivors from that time. At that time the trap-neut...
Editor, I give Senator Jon Tester a hearty Montana thank you for sponsoring and pushing the recently passed Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act with bipartisan support. The Act will create jobs for Montana men and women across the state and will build roads, bridges, airports, and critical water projec...
Editor, As I write this letter, Catholic doctrine is “front and center” right now with the controversial draft document the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops is expected to vote on. This has to do with President Joe Biden and other Catholic politicians who publicly support abortion rights, a...
Editor, I recently read a paper titled Intellectual Arrogance, by Allesandra Tanesini (Aristotlean Society, Volume 90, Issue 1, June 2016. Page 71-92). To paraphrase: Intellectual arrogance may foster timidity (fear of voicing differing ideas) and servility (going along to get along) for those who do not ...
Editor, I am addressing my efforts to have the Ronan Volunteer Fire Dept. (RVFD) air raid siren use discontinued. I have been very clear to Ronan officials that I’m not anti-RVFD. I have been on two volunteer departments myself and greatly appreciate/understand their need. The issue is the unnecessa...
Editor, Last month’s numbers for Covid deaths show an alarming trend along political party lines. Nationwide, in counties that voted for Trump in 2020, there were three times the number of Covid deaths (25 per 100,000) as there were in counties that voted for Biden (7.8 per 100,000). The death tally...
Editor, Flathead Irrigation irrigators, a few weeks ago you were sent a letter from the Montana DNRC about filing water rights according to the CSKT compact. Be careful what you sign, remember that all three irrigation districts filed irrigation, pumping, and stock water rights on March 20, 1982, two week...
Editor, The world is in a mess. I list some examples. See what you think of the solution. Saturday morning on CNN with Michael Smerconishm had a segment based on the review of a book by John Mowhorter. “Woke Racism, How a new religion has betrayed black America.” More racism to ...
Editor, Are we now living in a banana republic? It started with a dubious election last November and a spineless Supreme Court that refused to even look at the evidence of voter fraud that 70 million people believe occurred. For the past nine months we have observed one crisis after another instigated by ...
