Letters

Prescription drug tragedy

To the editor: It is with tragically ironic feelings that I write this addendum to my recent letter to the Times and FiddleheadFocus.com.

On the right to privacy

To the editor: Finally one of the most egregious abuses to our Constitution has been corrected. After almost 50 years a Supreme Court finally had the courage to reverse the ridiculous and dangerous decision by a prior Supreme Court.

To legalize or not

I was more than a little bemused by Lou Ouellette’s response to my letter on abortion.

Let’s not make hedonism legal

To the editor: Paul Cyr's recent response to a lucid, candid and logical letter by Walter Crean on the abortion issue is that he finds no sense whatsoever in Mr. Crean’s logic. Included in Mr. Cyr's letter are such statements as prostitution and drug abuse should be legalized in America to curb unnecessary suffering and deaths. Really?

Don’t miss out on relief checks

To the editor: The Legislature has completed its work for the 2020-2022 term, and, while there is much to report, there is one item I want to be sure Aroostook County residents know about.

Let’s consider legality again

To the editor: In answer to one of my letters “Thoughts on abortion” Paul Cyr had some comments. Paul says my arguments made no sense to him. Then he states, prostitution, assisted suicide and drugs, things I mentioned in my letter, should be legal in all 50 states.

Thoughts on choice

To the editor: My deeply felt kudos to Walter Crean for his lucid, candid and logical note on the issue of pro-life vs. pro-choice. Mr. Crean does not present personal opinion, he presents factual, undisputable comment on the issue which should be fully digested by us all.

Legalize some things and reduce some afflictions

To the editor: I have some thoughts on Walter Crean’s letter to the editor titled “Thoughts on Abortion.” Your arguments make no sense to me at all. First of all prostitution, assisted suicide and drugs should be legal in all 50 states.

Thoughts on abortion

To the editor: Abortion stops the natural progression of life that starts at conception. Like it or not, that is an indisputable fact. It’s only when man questions Mother Nature that we complicate something so basic. So to those people who sanctimoniously spout, “It’s my body, I can do what I want to with it,” I can only say you are wrong.

Grateful for VFW’s help

To the editor: The income tax season has just ended, which makes it a good time for us at AARP TaxAide in Caribou to extend a sincere thank you to the members and leadership of VFW post 9389.

Get home before dark

To the editor: This folk tale is for our 21st-century kids in the St.

Let’s be honest

To the editor: As an independent, I ask all of you, my fellow Maine residents, to review with me and comment on the following.

Working to preserve Veterans Homes

To the editor: I’ve talked about my father from time to time. He served during World War II, along with my uncles, and survived the Battle of Leyte Gulf, the biggest naval battle of World War II.

Veterans home closures are devastating

To the editor: The slated closing of our Maine Veterans Homes in Machias and Caribou is devastating not only to Washington and Aroostook County veterans but also their loved ones who depend on these facilities for critical long-term care.

Flat-earth thinking

To the editor: A letter recently published here was disappointing in form and tone. It was snide and used a stale rhetorical device to assign blame for high gas prices. The device is obvious but begs to be exposed, and silence only paves the way for bullies. So, this civil response.

Administration has it wrong

To the editor: Two days ago, I heard our esteemed commander in chief complain to reporters, "I am sick and tired of being blamed for the current price of gasoline. That's Putin's fault.”

Here’s how to fund Veterans Homes

To the editor: Do the math. Those in charge propose to close the Caribou and Machias [Maine] Veterans Homes, in part due to a combined annual shortfall of $2 million. The next year’s forecast is a combined $3 million shortfall.

No vilification intended

To the editor: A comment about Al Craft’s letter to the times, “Misplaced Fictional Concreteness.”
