LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Letter: Without religion we go astray 
I was reading Joe Eels’ recent letter on religion leading us astray. I noticed that he was not referring to the religions of Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, socialism or environmentalism, but was only referring to Christianity.

Letter: Again, great response
The ladies of the American Legion Auxiliary thank everyone who donated to our Hospitalized Veterans Gift Shop and also to Freeman Drug for the use of its window and help.
By Betty Swenson, chairman, VA and R Committee, Town of Kinnickinnic , December 30, 2009
Letter: How entertaining can we be?
Apparently popular forums for fair and balanced debate have lost any real currency. Accuracy and intellectual honesty are secondary to inflammatory posturing.

Letter: Follow money trail to find real ‘scoundrels’
In a recent letter Peggy Steffl again gives a view based on an ignorant ideological opinion. By dismissing facts supporting climate change she suggests it’s nothing more than an Al Gore Ponzi scheme.

Letter: Greedy bankers can go to you know where
Many Europeans are outraged about the economic collapse that they feel was caused by the biggest bankers and the obscene bonuses that they paid themselves.

Letter: Climate change? Let Dick Cheney be your guide
The recent letters denying climate change have gotten more and more shrill, so it may be useful to take a different perspective.

Letter: Global warming: ‘First refuge of scoundrels’
Al Gore sycophants, such as letter-writer Thomas Smith, hate Fox News and Talk Radio almost as much as vampires hate garlic.

Letter: Stop drinking water from plastic bottles
In an effort to reduce waste, lower the carbon footprint and lighten the environmental impact, I would like to see the elimination of all still water in plastic bottles smaller than a gallon removed from all store shelves in our community.

Letter: Travis came to my rescue
If you know a young man named Travis who was driving to work last Wednesday around 7 a.m. consider yourself lucky to have such a friend or relative.

Letter: High standards, but we can also improve
I would like to echo Susan Reese’s comments last week about the wealth of volunteers we have in the city, and how instrumental they were in helping us win first place in the America in Bloom contest.
By Mayor Don Richards, River Falls , October 23, 2009
Letter: So much to be skeptical about
Skepticism is a good thing and it does appear the U.S. citizenship agrees when it comes to the current Washington, D.C., administration. President Obama’s approval rating has fallen to 45%.
By Bob Britton, Elmwood , September 25, 2009
Letter: A tribute to Trooper
Trooper, the faithful German Shepherd superdog, passed away July 11, in the arms of owner Mary Jonikas and Dr. Dick Jones-Witthuhn of the Kinni Croix and River Falls Veterinary Clinic.

Letter: Canadian relatives can vouch for their health care
My great-grandfather emigrated from Sweden with his four adult children to Canada in 1889. My grandfather was the only family member who came to the United States where he met and married my grandmother who had emigrated with her parents from Norway.
By Ray Anderson, River Falls , August 07, 2009
Letter: Who’s running our country?
One of the most significant barriers standing in the way of affordable universal health care is the way in which powerful lobbyists are crusading on behalf of that portion of the health care industry that is privatized.
