Letter to the editor: Conscientious consumers can reduce plastic waste in our oceans
Nearly 9 million tons of plastic waste enter the ocean from coastlines every year, scientists say, or a truckload per minute.

Letter to the editor: Civil-rights activists fan hysteria, unfairly malign Starbucks
I remember an old fable about a child who befriended a snake. Despite all the love given the snake, one day it bit the child. The dying child asked the snake why it did this; from what I recall of the story, the snake simply answered, “What did you expect from me? After all, I […]
