[Please include your first and last names, and your city and state of residence. Thank you.] Falling from up high To the Editor: For the most powerful few (who could bring peace to this earth overnight), the deaths of millions means nothing. The masses of us are insects down among the grass roots, to be stomped upon and obliterated for this whim or that, here 10, there 10,000, or a million, or ten million, etc. Unbeknownst to us, they also stalk and kill each other, from time to time, for this reason or that. Out of self protection, they are constantly spying on each other. Thus, they have few secrets from one another. The one with the most to hide is the greatest danger to the others. Each one of them is a Stalin. Sincerely Yours, Leland Mellott Mount Vernon, Washington, USA - May 4, 2013 ********** Remembering a Madeleine Albright book signing last year in Canada To the Editor: Madeleine Albright signs her name The old dried up bitch Madeleine Albright The unrepentant sow, a disgusting sight. Memoirs written in Iraqi children's blood For shrew and bitch the price was right. She sits shriveled signing books without shame Washing blood from hands and blame The old crow sits, cackles, signs her name To death to profit to crime the same. Those who came to see the ugly do Witnessed scream from bitch, crone, and shrew Get out, Get out this is human organ sale For heart, a liver, kidney, lungs she writes her name. Walter Trkla Kamloops, BC, Canada - May 8, 2013 ********** Separate the Wheat from the Chaff To the Editor: It must please the senses of the critics right and left to mollify the FBI and all the other police authorities for the tragedy in Boston (though they did solve the case in three days). But I wonder how these critics would separate the wheat from the chaff when officials are dealing with some 100,000 threats a year. We live in an unstable and violent age. If people believe that revolution will solve the problem they should only look at the Arab Spring and beyond. As a conservative, I am fully aware that we are facing a structural and ecological crisis to which we have yet to find a response, if there is one. Scapegoating officials won't do.
