Hypocritical Treatment
Our country has been debating the immigration issue for decades. It is interesting that we still don’t have a plan. More interesting is the question why don’t we have a plan. Because we don’t insist…

Good Vs. Evil
How many still remember Dec. 7, 1941? America went to war after being attacked. Millions of Americans united to fight an enemy that wanted to destroy everything this nation was and stood for. We…

Shallow Mind
Mr. Vicari wrote an opinion piece high on indignation and short on honest evaluation (“Sayonara at 75? Seniors Prove Otherwise,” 1/29), but it’s interesting to note that the article written by…
