Letter to the editor: A right we can’t afford to lose
Mainers who care about their rights should have serious concerns about a right that’s threatened by LD 11 – legislation recently heard by the Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Committee and now subject to further review – which seeks to amend the constitution of Maine to establish the right to hunt and fish. The fact is […]
Letter to the editor: Amend or repeal 2nd Amendment
As I read the tweets by our U.S. representatives (“horrified,” “horrific,” “heartbroken”) about the latest school shooting, I can only shake my head, mourn the dead, and brace for the next senseless act of national insanity. I’m not going to lower myself to platitudes and symbolism, as is being done with macabre regularity now. This […]
Letter to the editor: Answer is less guns, not more
Every time we have a new gun atrocity in the USA, the NRA and its supporters argue that the answer is more guns, not less. This time around it is to be guns for teachers. This is beyond absurd. There is a ton of research that demonstrates a clear link between the number of guns […]

Tiny houses create big ideas
Regulatory changes have made it even easier to live the tiny house lifestyle.
Letter to the editor: Facts and opinions aren’t the same
Ken Frederic’s Coastal Journal article, “Wake up to liberal bullying and stop pretending,” demonstrates the troubling practice of presenting 1. as “fact” what are personal opinions, and 2. intermingling the occasional fact with not only beliefs and opinions, but fictions. The result is muddled amalgam that leaves an impression without any learning. Granted, modern neurology […]
Letter to the editor: Band together to protect our liberties
Maybe you’ve investigated and found the information: Our president and many politicians have accepted millions of dollars from the National Rifle Association. You might question why we taxpayers should support those politicians, since the NRA can. The same might be asked regarding the millions of dollars they receive from corporations. Follow the money: Who are […]
