I would like to respond to Mr. Sid Jones, whose letter to the editor was published by this paper on Tuesday, Oct. 4. While I respect Mr. Jones’ point of view, I can’t help feeling that the concerns he expresses condemn both parties while offering no real solutions. Well, he does suggest we buy guns, to which I respond that while there is increasing talk on the right about the need for violence, even civil war, it is my sincere hope that our problems can be resolved at the ballot box and never through political violence.
“…to which I respond that while there is increasing talk on the right about the need for violence, even civil war.”
The only one “talking” is the President and there has been absolutely no proof to back up his rhetoric or hyperbole. However, what we have seen is rioting, violence, mayhem, and destruction for months preceding the George Floyd incident.
“States across the country are banning medical care for pregnant women and transgender people.”
No, what we are seeing is these issues being returned back to the States. We are also seeing parents taking back their autonomy over their children until the age of majority.
“These restrictions are not the will of the majority of Americans, and they will not solve the myriad problems we face.”
That is just not true. A majority of Americans are in fact asking for greater oversight and regulation of these issues. And that will be proven at the next election.
