What goes around

independence to solve issues with local thinking rather than falling back to outsiders and interference that failed our schools before? After all, shouldn’t we be electing local o cials who have the leadership moxie to bring all kinds of people together?

Pick a name

Compared to Colorado, with our weak gun laws, the State of Tennessee has almost no gun laws. e six people who died in the Nashville school shooting were simply traded for the right of every Tennessean to own a weapon of war. Or two or three or a dozen.

Douglas County has three County Commissioners who support the right to own an AR 15 assault/pistol/ri e, or other weapon of war, over the lives of every school student in Douglas County. ey were elected by a majority of the residents of the county who have similar views. Other elected o cials do not even support the red ag law that would take these weapons of war out of the hands of mentally ill people.

I would like to invite a representative group of the afore mentioned AR15 supporters to join me in visiting three schools that are a short walk from my house. Students from these three schools pass my house every day. ese representatives would simply trade their AR 15s for the life of every student and teacher or keep their AR 15s and pick a name, who they view, has less value than an AR 15.

We can certainly engage in gallows humor over Trump’s indictment, but the reality is that this political move will just light a re under some to go after Biden for his family’s foreign in uence money — which we all know would be like furiously pedaling a stationary, nodestination bike in a spin class. Hey. While we’re about it, let’s just indict every government o cial who has been doing insider trading. And because I’m already on the path to mix more metaphors, all I can picture is Nero playing the violin while Rome burns. In our country’s case, though, it’s not just dollars going up in smoke. We ourselves may be willingly stepping into the incinerator.

Where’s the civility?

Do you readers think that Lynn Popowski (letters to the editor 3/30/2023) might have noticed when she opened her paper to read her letter, the letter following by Larry Norton? Might she have realized that her letter might be judged as lacking in the civility that he mentioned? But I doubt that such an idea would enter her head. She has already claimed that there might not be any “sane” Republicans in our midst. She calls Dave Williams a far-right conspiracy theorist and election denier. She calls legislators spiteful and insane — for even trying, in the face of insurmountable odds to oppose her Democratic worn out and useless tropes which have become law or will become law because Democrats control — with an iron st — Colorado’s legislature and governor.
