• Commentary: Protecting the environment is not an extremist cause but a divine mandate

  During my generation’s lifetime, environmental protection has seemingly been the sole province of the far left. They are the ones we see on television ranting about environmental problems. They are the ones we pass on the street screaming their alarm about environmental impacts. They are the ones we see on the internet advocating policy solutions.History books tell me that there was a time, not too long ago, when Americans engaged in reasonable and effective conversations on this very topi

• Letter: There were no guns at Live Aid

  While raising my now-21-year-old daughter, I told her that people were genuinely good, but to follow her instincts because there could be a bad apple out there. Even in today’s world, I believe that the ratio remains the same. If there are 100 apples, one is bound to be bad.While watching the movie “Bohemian Rhapsody,” I was amazed at the lack of security with a crowd of 72,000 at Wembley Stadium at the 1985 Live Aid concert.

  The vehicle we use to elect the president is more like an Electoral Bus than a College, because its purpose isn’t to educate, but to arrive at a destination: the selection of the president.To get there, let’s say every state has its own Electoral Bus, District of Columbia too, so it’s a pretend fleet of 51. On election night, each state’s electors board their own bus and head out, but as long as they end up at the presidency, how they get tickets to ride is up to their le

  It is true that one person's illegal or uncaring behavior can spoil another person's rights.If you walk your dog in a nice park, and then neglect to pick up the dog's waste, the park may be closed to all dog owners. Because one person was inconsiderate and unthinking about consequences, every dog owner suffers. That is how laws and rules often come about sometimes.If a gun owner loans someone their gun and it is used in an illegal act, that gun owner should to some degree be held responsible. If
