Pray on one knee;gossip on the other
It is amazing how good churchgoing individuals can pray on one knee and then gossip on the other. There is a name for it. It’s helped me to be a better person. Donna McDonald Palermo

Infusion Therapy Act important, bipartisan bill
I am pleased to see that AARP has endorsed legislation introduced by Sens. Olympia Snowe of Maine and John Kerry of Massachusetts. If passed, the Medicare Home Infusion Therapy Coverage Act of 2011 will provide coverage for infusion therapy services, supplies and equipment under Medicare Part B performed in the patient’s home. By allowing the […]

Reprinted editorial mean-spirited, offensive
What is the purpose of your publishing such a mean-spirited and frankly offensive item (“Obama takes the title of ‘worst president'”) from the Toronto Sun as a “View from Elsewhere” on Monday’s Opinion Page? By publishing this drivel from a sensationalist Canadian tabloid, you have given it legitimacy. The article simply perpetuates the lie that […]

Judiciary another aspect that needs to see the light
I applaud the Freedom of Information Coalition for its great efforts in achieving results for Mainers who wish to access information from our government (Maine Compass, Aug. 15). If democracy is to survive, people need to know what their government is doing. The article stated “lawmakers were not convinced there was a problem.” The coalition […]

Proposed trade agreements bad for U.S.
I disagree with the editorial published in the newspaper on July 28 that urges quick congressional action to approve trade agreements with South Korea, Colombia and Panama. These trade agreements will increase imports into the United States more than they will increase exports. This is bad for our economy. Many products once manufactured here are […]

DHHS worker in video should be commended
I’m writing in response to the article, “Conservative groups tout video as proof of fraud.” I do not believe the Department of Health and Human Services worker acted inappropriately. Early in the interview, this “client” was implying criminal activity; this makes him a potentially dangerous person. In the interview, the worker was careful not to […]

Blue Angels air show doesn’t set a good example
It is dismaying and troubling to read the newspaper ads for the Blue Angel air show. The air show, according to the ads, is for “honoring those who serve” and for “celebrating 100 years of naval aviation.” Very nice motives, but at what expense to taxpayers and the environment? The cost to operate the Blue […]

S&P cites American politics for downgrade
For those of us lamenting the results of the recent S&P downgrade, I think we should try to understand the basis for this downgrade -- aside from the $2 trillion math error. I think the best way to try to review their rationale is to read S&P's actual report.

Commissary availability factored into military pay
Your editorial about the Topsham Commissary closing in the Aug. 12 issue of the Kennebec Journal and Morning Sentinel indicates that you do not check the facts before publishing an editorial.
