    Politics again triumphs over common good

    I witnessed our state Legislature's failure to override the governor's veto of the federally funded health care for Maine's uninsured and came away with the sense that politics had once again triumphed over the common good.

    We need to be ‘spied on’ to keep our country safe

    I have been hearing a lot about people complaining about the National Security Agency listening in on phone calls, computers, spy satellites, etc.

    How should Longley be compared to LePage?

    So, Bryan Hodgkins (letter, June 12) thinks Paul LePage is the best governor Maine has had since James Longley. I didn't live in Maine when Longley was in office, but I wonder if he had the same qualities as our current governor?

    US image has gone from peacekeeper to warmonger

    Every year it becomes more and more apparent that, as educated as we have become as a nation, we have learned very little from history.

    It’s time to consider war contractors’ role

    As many people have heard, another man has leaked some secret government information. This time it's about a huge database that the NSA is collecting of every phone call and email we send. (Everyone, all of us.) There are plenty of reasons to be upset by the fact that our government is keeping a record of every single phone call and every single email that we send or receive. I guess we're supposed to be glad that they won't listen to or read them unless we pose a threat. Of course we're sure that they know just who does pose a threat.

    Immigration bill squeezes foreign, domestic workers

    My self-expression about immigration reform has been stymied because I've been afraid I'd vomit on my keyboard.

    Background checks don’t infringe on gun rights

    I am writing in response to the latest vote in the U.S. House on gun control. I feel it was a total mistake on their behalf not to institute some sort of background checks for private sale gun purchases. Is this really an infringement on our constitutional rights? I do not see where it would be anything but beneficial to the American public.
