Reader not pleased with Food Pantry
(Letter to the Editor ~ 02/10/08)
To the Editor: Let's talk about the food pantries. I thought when people need some help, I didn't think that they would take some stuff out of your arms. What is this world coming to? What gives them the right to do that? It sounds like to me that they do all the stuff...

Another reader expresses disappointment
(Letter to the Editor ~ 02/10/08)
To the Editor: I would like to talk about the food pantry. The people who work there are rude and disrespectful to the people that just come in there for help. They act like they are better than you just because you might need a little help. They will take things out of your hands if they think you have too much. And the way I see it, those things are there for those people who need them. And they should at least treat people with self-respect like they deserve...

Foreign aid, illegal immigration, etc.
(Letter to the Editor ~ 02/10/08)
To the Editor: Foreign Aid: Who got it. Can anyone get me 2008 current information regarding how much our Congress gave away and to whom, and why?

A total of 490,000 around the world in 144 countries. Just think, we gave $10 billion per month to Iraq and are still giving. What about us?...
