On By admin

August 6, 2021Dear editor; The letter appearing in last week’s issue of The Voice, authored by Marjorie Logman, thevoice.us/readers-voice-climbing-the-steps-finds-truth, Climbing the steps finds truth, is a dirty joke aimed at Christians and veterans and it needs a slap back.

Just a thought on the debate of COVID-19 vaccination

On By admin

Trying to have a civil discourse with some proponents of vaccination is an exasperating exercise in futility. They delight in using name-calling as part of their “argument,” castigating opponents’ mental health, sense of morality, political affiliation, I.Q. level, and/or sexual orientation. What most pro-vaxxers fail to realize is that the...

July 31, 2021Dear editor; There is a movement in the Country that includes some Republicans, some Christians, and some veterans that concern me. The movement is not debatable because most of its ideology is based on untruths. It reminds me of when I was a little girl and the neighborhood...
