Was this really necessary?

Dear Editor,

  I bought the paper this Wednesday and the first thing I saw is that the Prosecutor wants to lock up some more people. That took me back to my father when I was becoming a teenager and started joining friends. He would tell me, “If you were not there your name could not be called.”  But I do not think that with this on their minds the families could have a good Christmas, and I definitely would not like for them to be bringing in the new year in this way.

Dear Editor,

  Last month, bestselling author James Patterson received a National Humanities Medal for being “one of the most successful American authors of our time.” His bestselling “true crime thriller” Filthy Rich was published in 2016.

Look in the mirror: What do you see?

 

Dear Editor,

  The discussion on blaming the past coalition for collapsing on its own will continue, until this new majority admits that they were the major player in the fall of government. When they look in the mirror, what do they see? Do they see themselves as honest politicians, executing their party’s motto of “putting the people first,” or as conniving, egoistic individuals, who entered politics just to enrich themselves?
