As a society, we are out of control
This year’s Black Friday is a confirmation of how other countries view the United States of America. Our capitalistic “me first” attitudes have made us the laughing stock of the entire world. We have become a society of spoiled citizens who idolize merchandise over family values, money over morality, and indulgence over dignity. We take […]

Compromise is needed for problems to be solved
It seems like just yesterday when citizens were fearing a $6 trillion debt, so it is no surprise to me that with the now $15 trillion debt, Congress faces the lowest-ever approval rating at only 8 percent. Ordinary citizens are alarmed when they hear that the federal government is borrowing nearly 35 cents for every […]

Come January, it’ll be time to worry
Super Committee. What a joke. Then again, this Congress is the most dysfunctional group of people ever gathered in one place. What happens now? We’ve been told nothing takes effect until after the next election, so don’t worry. Worry. Here’s what happens Jan. 1: Two million people lose unemployment. While I don’t fully disagree with […]

Cape Elizabeth’s Dill knows what best?
It is time once again for the residents north of Augusta to thank our sharp neighbors to the south. Esteemed state Sen. Cynthia Dill, D-Cape Elizabeth, has pointed out what a “no brainer” it is to have a national park on the free land that Roxanne Quimby would like us to have. This would imply […]

Republican bunch are a laugh a minute
It is too bad that vaudeville faded from the entertainment scene. Had it not done so, the crew of Republican debaters would be able to get together and go on stage and bring the house down. They are a riot. A laugh a minute. We see a one-time frontrunner who can not remember the third […]

Fence damage shows respect is out the window
This afternoon I was once again reminded of the lack of respect and integrity of some of the human race. I was informed by a responsible member of our community that portions of our fence had been mangled by a car that had gone off the road. Granted it was a snowy and slippery road […]

Republicans at fair booth disrespected national anthem
Last September, I was at the Windsor Fair, which I consider to be one of the best fairs in the state, when I came upon the Republican booth.

The Republican-led Congress stated that it would only be in session for 127 days in 2012. What are they going to do for the other 238 days?

Media tries to undermineCatholic Church
I was impressed with the number of media folks who tied the Penn State debacle with the Catholic Church. I believe that this was purposeful by the media to undermine the Catholic Church. At the same time, in viewing the visit of Pope Benedict to the African nation of Benin, I was hugely impressed with the intensity of religion in that tiny African nation. Even the children seemed so passionate about their faith and the visit of Pope Benedict. Some say that the church in America has lost its passion. As I have said before, a group of youth called the millennials (circa 1987-2003) say they can fulfill their faith without the common tools of prayer and Bible reading. Where did they get this idea? They will not last long, I fear, because the Judeo-Christian faiths have been around for thousands of years, operating on prayer and our sacred word. Anyway, what a joy to view the intensity of faith exhibited by that nation, Benin. And the music and the movement of those African folks! What a feast for the eyes and the spirit. Thank you EWTN!
