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 […]

Letter to the editor: Excuse from CMP wanted as electric bills defy logic
Well, the weather is getting warmer and the days are getting longer, so people should be using less electricity. I know that I am using less, but one of my recent Central Maine Power bills was $4 higher than the month before. My CMP bills have run $60 more a month this winter than last […]

Letter to the editor: World seems oblivious as Israel abuses protesters
Where’s the outrage? Why the deafening silence from Congress? A photojournalist shot and killed by sniper fire while filming protesters. Five other journalists shot and injured. Thirty unarmed protesters killed, some of them shot in the back, as they fled. Over 1,500 protesters injured by live fire, rubber-coated bullets or tear gas. No Israelis have […]

Letter to the editor: Effective plastic bag policy can’t exempt some retailers
I just read Marina Schauffler’s April 15 Sea Change column, on the Maine towns and cities that place fees on plastic bags. After several years, Portland has left the job half done, with the fee applying only to stores involved in selling food. This means all those other retailers get a pass. When I see […]
