An Open Letter To My Fellow Christian And Staff Writer, Rev. J. Grant Swank
I cannot and will not be silent on a particular ongoing topic from a particular author any longer. I have held back, for better, or for worse, for quite some time. That ends now. It is with a heavy heart that I am doing this, and I hope that this one time that I am violating my own personal rule will be the only time, but in this instance, principle dictates my response. Rev. J. Grant Swank and I need to get a few items aired out, and as he has decided to incessantly make these items public, I will challenge him on them in the same forum.

Fix Your Own Government, Don't Break This One
As an American Latino, I find Illegal immigration is the Illegal in the US trying to change the country I love, to make it more Latino (Mexican) friendly, and to forget the Americans; I say go back to Mexico and get YOUR legal government to change the way they treat you and your fellow countrymen and women and STOP the BULL you have been doing here.

State Attorney General Office Falling Down on Job
A few days ago, there was quite a flap when Peter Degennaro, alleged crooked contractor from Massachusetts, came over our border and scammed two more innocent victims up here in Maine. Nobody ever Googled him.

Political Campfire Stew
Today's campfire stew pot contains both major political parties with the establishment news media stirring the broth slowly round and around over a smoldering campfire. This stew has a lot in store for us in the upcoming presidential election, not necessarily for the better. In fact, I would surmise the stew will have a bitter taste indeed for all to endure when finished.

Thanks for the Morning Star and the Memories
Recently while researching a few places in Northern New England, I decided while I was at it to search for information about the Katahdin area and, more specifically, Patten. I wasn't sure as to what I'd find but I did find was your Magic City Morning Star.

Global Warming Infidel
I need some help in understanding the concept of global warming. It seems to me that in order to prove any type of change in any area of inquiry, one must first establish a base measurement. To prove that earth's average temperature has warmed over this past century, one must prove the base average temperature one hundred years ago.

A Pox on All Their Houses

More on NAIS
This article: "The NAIS Suite at the Hotel California," by Julie Kay Smithson was right on. I would only point out the further depths of deviousness and absurdity of the USDA-State Ag Dept mindset: Opting out, even before one's data is uploaded into the federal NAIS database, only puts one into another database: The Opt Out Database.

Nick Sambides Responds to Alyce Maragus
Whether stated as belief, opinion or anything else, Alyce Maragus is wrong when she says that Town Councilor Matthew Polstein "engineered" a question I asked during the last council meeting. He and I had no communication during the meeting, nor were we outside council chambers at the same time before the question was asked.

Funding Abortion
This is an issue that cuts across party lines. Whether Democrat or Republican, pro-life or pro-abortion, we should resent the fact that the Federal Government steals our income to support an affiliation of private businesses across the nation.

Saving Us from Ourselves
Maine Politicians seem intent on finding ways to spend the Public's money while finding new ways to keep us from knowing what they're up to. The Legislature is trying to pass "Emergency" Legislation (LD 1878) that would end the requirement for Maine Government to post legal notices in newspapers. The legal notices in the classified section aren't the most noticible part of the paper, but sometimes contain the most important information for the Public.
