Flag Burning Political Stunt

Letter to the Editor

It's an election year and the Republicans are dragging out their second election year political stunt to further curtail our rights with a flag desecration amendment. What does this mean? All they have to do it print a flag on anything they don't want debated to make it an act of flag desecration. If Republicans want to support and honor the flag they should pass a law requiring that all flags be made in America. I find it offensive to see Republicans posturing behind a flag that is made in Communist China.

Wells Fargo charges fee for No Fee credit card

So Wells Fargo Bank talks me into a no fee credit card and I get the thing and without having ever used the credit card I see a $29 fee on it called the "Rewards Anual Program Fee". I called them up and told them that the bank had told me it was a "no fee" card and they did take the fee off. But I think that it is unethical that they offer a no fee card, add a fee, and then you have to call them to remove the fee from their no fee card,

I do no believe this was an honest mistake so watch out when gettig a "no fee" card from Wells Fargo Bank or any other bank.

Did Judge Chuck Weller who was shot have it coming?

Apparently this guy was widely considered to be a crooked judge and had made a lot of enemies. I did a google search and turned up this web page:

Having been through the family court system myself there is a real issue with corrupt judges and how to stop them. In many cases the only way to remove a corrupt judge from the bench is with bullet. I'm not advocationg that, but if you don't look into this judge's history you aren't seeing half of the story. If what all these people are saying about this judge is true it reflects an issue with society that needs to be addressed in order to protect future judges from the same thing.

From what I read here it looks like there were a lot of people who were ready to shoot this judge.

Protecting Marriage

Letter to the Editor

The Republicans, in an attempt to reassure religious conservatives, suggest that we need a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage in order to protect heterosexual marriage. But wouldn't a better way to protect marriage be a constitutional amendment banning heterosexual divorce? Think about it.
