Letter: We need to take responsibility for taking care of ourselves

A loved elder suffers a long death of emphysema and lung cancer, brought on by years of smoking; a pre-schooler shoots and kills a sibling with a handgun found in their parents’ home; and a teenager kills himself and his friends as a result of driving while taking a phone call — none of them were wearing seatbelts.

Letter: Reinstate the death penalty
Posted: May 13, 2013

Everyone in the world should know by now the death penalty needs to be reinstated. There is no place in our world for mass murder. My wife said all citizens must police each other and the Ten Commandments should be in every public place. What would be wrong with that?
