Letter to the editor: Fear used to control unwashed masses
Fear, the manipulative tool of kings, tyrants, religious leaders and modern-day politicians … think global warming and covid-19. It has been used for centuries to control the unwashed masses. Don’t believe me? Read Niccolo Machiavelli’s treatise “The Prince.” Joe Marmo Cheswick...
Letter to the editor: Regulations are necessary, as they protect citizens
In the article “Biden visit stirs pro, con sentiments among Westmoreland residents”, a man was quoted as saying he supports President Trump “trying to cut back on regulations.” I propose that regulations are often necessary. We, the common folk, need government oversight of industry to protect the air we breathe,...
Letter to the editor: Let’s change the debate rules
It is apparent that none of the debate participants follow the rules. Why don’t they have a clock running the selected response time that automatically shuts off the mic of the debater when his or her time expires? Is it any wonder why people lose respect for leaders when they...
Letter to the editor: Problems of Biden, Trump

Here’s what we know.” (Sept. 29, TribLIVE) were eye-opening to the danger posed to democracy with this November election. The editorial stated that...
Letter to the editor: Our senators must have Obamacare
After listening to how great Obamacare is for days during Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation hearing, I would have to assume that all U.S. senators must have that coverage. At the very least, all Democratic senators must have that coverage. Is that not true? Follow the tracks! Evan Harr Derry...
Letter to the editor: Look at ability, not personality, when voting
I’d like to use the process of elimination to determine my vote for president. Legal immigrants who often risked their lives to seek freedom and opportunity escaped socialist countries like Cuba and Venezuela to come to our country can’t understand how any American can vote for a socialist for president....
