Letters to the Editor
Meinerts: Force seatbelt, mask wearing 'is infringing on my freedom'
To the Editor:
In response to Alan Harnack’s May 6 letter to the editor, I guess we have to go back to basic grade school vocabulary class.
Freedom: noun – “the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance...
To the Editor:
I work at a retail store that requires mask- wearing for anyone within the store. Because of that, we have been called everything from a communist, a loser, stupid, dumb, and other names that I cannot print.
Wearing a mask does not take away your freedom. You wear a mask to protect...
Sasker: 'Glad to call Luverne home'
To the Editor:
I wrote a letter to the editor years ago and never sent it.
This is that letter in part:
It happened again like so many times before. I am in a store in Luverne and I hear a clerk refer a customer to another store because they didn’t have the item...
Sasker poem: 'Trouble lies ahead'
To the Editor:
Economics come and go
You have the high
You have the low
This will always be so.
But when the morals of the land
are ignored or erased by man
And we disregard our maker’s command
Trouble lies ahead
Whether you support the blue or red.
Marilyn Sasker...
Meinerts: 'This is why I love America'
To the Editor:
Thanks for the response, Rae, I was beginning to think that the sea of red was much wider and deeper than I had imagined. My response has been overwhelmingly positive. This is why I love America and freedom. Everyone is supposed to have a voice...
Frakes: One party rule here
To the Editor:
I can’t understand why everyone is running down China. Aren’t their politics the same as we have here? Don’t we also have one party rule? What the top dog says is law? Doesn’t our government want to control all our energy sources, churches, businesses and...
Frakes: 'We're in teh money, and it's all free, and more is coming
To the Editor:
Halleluia! We’re in the money! We’re in the money! And it’s all free! And more coming!
What do we get with this free money? The warm fuzzies! All of us, especially the upper crust ruling class in D.C., get the warm...
Meinerts: Stimulus not so stimulating
To the Editor:
Trillion — a figure we hear a lot from our Washington bureaucrats. Does anyone even understand how big that number is? A million seconds is 11.57 days, a billion seconds is 31 years and a trillion seconds is 31,688 years.
The 1.9 trillion dollar...
Gust: Health care professionals need protest the vulnerable
To the Editor:
This morning (March 12) I was taking my dog Charley out and saw thebrightening in the east of the sunrise, announcing a new day. The night’s darkness was passing away.
I was thinking that yesterday was the one-year...
To the Editor:
When I drive down Highway 75, I see the city of Luverne’s sign saying that we’re all in this together. I don’t think that we are. I feel it is more like us, the freedom-loving, small business-owning, free-thinking American Patriots against a Nazi regime up in the cities. A regime...
