Grandpa,There is something wrong with the way my daughter thinks. She has a nice career, earns a good living, but wants her friends to think she is a common thief. One example; yesterday she and a girlfriend went out shopping. She went into a liquor store and came out with...
March 6, 2020Dear editor; Five smiling faces enjoying their put down of Christopher Columbus were in A Voice for your opinions, thevoice.us/a-voice-for-your-opinions-what-are-your-thoughts-on-chicago-public-schools-changing-columbus-day-to-indigenous-peoples-day. I asked myself, have any of them read a biography of his life? Many books are available expressing various points of view contrary to the public schools’ rendition...
Grandpa,I live in a lovely trailer park and have great neighbors. My husband is (deployed in the military). Yesterday the heat in my home went out. According to the repairman, I should have heat back on by tomorrow. My neighbor saw the repairman’s truck and came over to see if...
Grandpa,I recently read in (an online advice column) an article about how women can spot an abusive man by various signs. I wrote to the column telling (that columnist) about the abuses I received from my wife. She was very physically abusive to me, to the point of once (details...
January 19, 2020 Dear editor; Kneeling is a sign instituted by God. It is not a sin, nor a crime. Those who interpret it as a protest coming from low class, common fans, should be fired. The backlash to the press corp and its owners should be addressed from church...
Grandpa,My girlfriend is pregnant. She is 15. I am 14. We are both afraid to tell our parents. Is it legal for us to get her an abortion without her parents giving permission? Who do we contact? Grandpa says: Because you both made the error in judgment about birth control,...
January 3, 2020Dear editor; What was Illinois lieutenant governor Juliana Stratton thinking when she purchased recreational marijuana in Chicago on the first day of its legal sales in Illinois? Does she not understand that as a public official she is setting a reckless and foolish example, especially for children and...
Grandpa,My son is divorced from his wife of (very few) years. It was his first marriage and her (not first). Today his former step son, who is (in his teens) called on me to ask a favor. (Grandpa is withholding certain identifying information). I was never very close to this...
December 23, 2019Dear editor; Here is the debate on Christmas Holy Day vs. holiday proceeds, we need to analyze the benefits derived from it that all share. If the Pope were to mandate a change in the recognition of the birth of Jesus Christ to September based on new evidence...
December 24, 2019Dear editor; Oh my, what a fiasco that took up so much time. I call her Nasty, Nutty, Nancy. She is so angry, she’s grasping at straws. She shakes like she has an essential tremor problem, or Parkinson’s disease. Maybe she should crawl back into her Fenced in...
Grandpa,I am in prison and serving a 20-year sentence for a sexual assault. I have done extensive therapy while here and I have learned one unwavering fact. I committed my crimes out of a need to take power away from an innocent victim to feed my own need for power...
Grandpa,I got a new twist to an old scam. A phone call came from a number in (a different) area code. I did not recognize the number so I did not answer it. Because they did not leave a message, I called back to see if it was a scam....
Grandpa,Reasons for rejection of Replacement Theology. (See thevoice.us/questions-new-testament-husbands-sister). Matthew 5:17-22 and 22:36-40. The law of love does not replace God’s mercy, it fulfills it. There are hundreds of OT scriptures that offer grace. Too many to cite here. Themes for the OT and NT are prophecy and fulfillment, not nullification....
Grandpa,Thank you for asking. A blessing I have for which I am grateful is my younger sister and our pen pal relationship across the miles. Grandpa,I am sick and tired of these Bible Beaters pushing their beliefs onto real people who live in a real world. My kids just got...
Grandpa,I have heard it said that life is not like a box of chocolates, it is like a jar of hot peppers, whatever you do today will come back and burn your (deleted). Well, I just proved that to myself! I thought I was being slick. I recently got a...

Grandpa,My son was born with a third arm. It was a tiny growth of a limb coming out at his shoulder, on his back. It was surgically removed at birth. He has a scar from the surgery, and we told him he just needed an operation at birth. We have...
Grandpa,I have been incarcerated for almost 30 years. During my early years when I was in a maximum-security prison, I noticed how badly homosexuals and transgender individuals were treated. Either they were forced to cell with one other man and considered to be his property, sex slave, or wife, as...
By John W. Whitehead “You gotta remember, establishment, it’s just a name for evil. The monster doesn’t care whether it kills all the students or whether there’s a revolution. It’s not thinking logically, it’s out of control.” —John Lennon (1969) John Lennon, was born 79 years ago October 9, 1940,...
September 15, 2019Dear editor; What this country needs is not a good 5¢ cigar, but rather, an effective laundry detergent to clean up its political verbiage. Many of our words are so soiled by moral presuppositions, that they are nearly unfit to be heard in the presence of children. When...
