Letter to the editor: Not a shred of decency in Republican Party
Dana Milbank’s column of Dec. 6 (“Shaken by midterm losses, GOP resorts to thievery,” Page A7) should have been on the front page above the fold. There’s not a shred of decency within the Republican Party, which claims the moral high ground with all of their Christian family values baloney, etc. While their “great leader” […]

Letter to the editor: How Iran’s lessons slide past this naive world
Many have forgotten Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the late shah of Iran. Under his rule, SAVAK was the secret police agency keeping rule and order in Iran. SAVAK was very brutal, and torture was widely used to get information and control. Censorship was commonly used to control the people. Then the United States said “Enough” and […]

Letter to the editor: Political climate right for cutting emissions
I appreciate any coverage given to climate change; however, I must take issue with Washington Post reporter Matt Viser’s story “More GOP lawmakers become climate-change skeptics” (Dec. 3, Page A3). It is indeed lamentable that many Republicans continue the misleading narrative that there’s room for doubt or that the changes we’re seeing are at all […]

In decades of aiding the dying, I have never seen a greedy heir eager to usher a relative into the great unknown.

Letter to the editor: Does vaccine logic apply to driving risks, too?
The Dec. 2 letter to the editor by Thia Embers illustrates just how bad humans are at risk assessment. She argues that a one-in-a-million chance of being injured by a vaccine should be enough for some (presumably herself included) to forgo shots for their children, thereby leaving all other Americans (especially the elderly and immuno-compromised) […]

Letter to the editor: Cable TV service switch seems unfair to seniors
A friend of mine who is 92 years old lives in a senior living/assisted living facility in Portland. Her apartment is federally subsidized with one bedroom and one bath. Recently, she received a letter from Spectrum indicating that her cable service would be going all digital and that if she wanted to watch her television […]

Letter to the editor: Former President George H.W. Bush sought to solve problems with civility
My father was a friend of the 41st president. I have a photo of my parents at the White House with the then-president and first lady. In the same way that President George H.W. Bush’s politics were not mine, my father and I do not share political ideology. We can disagree politically, but we can […]

Letter to the editor: George H.W. Bush’s natural default: friendly, every time
I was honored to interact with George H.W. Bush many times, as a media member and as a Salvation Army staffer. We first crossed paths during the 1988 New Hampshire primary. He was addressing a large crowd. I was in the back. All I had going for me was the WGME logo on my mic; […]
