Letters To The Editor

Recently an unmarried, unemployed mother of six gave birth to eight more babies. Facilitating this event was a fertility clinic doctor. He caused this pregnancy—he’s the “father.” He should pay for the raising of these babies.

I often read letters that condemn socialism as some sort of evil force that will bring down our form of democracy. We are, in fact, a socialistic-democracy, and it isn’t dangerous or bad. Too often, though, it’s associated with communism and or dictatorships. Socialism as best defined is a system whereby all programs are state […]

Your article (“Offshore isn’t off limits anymore,” Feb. 12) outlines exactly what is wrong in this state. There are too many tree-hugging “environmentalists” that are unbelievably short-sighted and misinformed about offshore drilling, which holds up the process of tapping this vital resource. “Environmentalists” will always point to the Santa Barbara spill. However, that time period […]

True conservatives believe: Eight-hundred billion dollars to help our own country is too much, but $1 trillion for the Iraq War was money well spent. Spending is not stimulus, it’s how liberals waste our tax dollars. Tax cuts for the rich are the best way to help middle-class Americans—trickle-down economics works. Rush Limbaugh spoke the […]

I see we’re still taking the hit from Big Oil, and maybe now the stations. As most of you have read in the paper, the price of oil is now down to the $30-range for a barrel. Isn’t it amazing how the price of a gallon of gas has risen about 35 cents since the […]

Living in Long Island, New York, for the past 10 years, I’ve taken many trips to Fire Island to see the beautiful dunes and all the wonderful wildlife and organisms it holds. Just arriving in Nipomo yesterday, I was very excited to hear that you had dunes as well. Taking a trip there today, I […]

It averts the loss of somewhere between 3 or 4 million jobs, needed green jobs, and needed infrastructure jobs, averts teacher layoffs, etc. The opposition just doesn’t care about the rest of us.

State mandated housing, at its inception many years ago, had many worthwhile goals, but virtually none of these high-minded goals has been achieved, and it has become a bonanza for developers who are selected for high density rezoning and for those state and county workers who administer this unnecessary program that causes excessive growth. The […]

The “Get to know vegetarianism” article in the Jan. 22 issue of the Sun was a good introduction to the “Healthy Lifestyle Education and Support Program” that we are conducting at the Hungry Palate Restaurant in Santa Maria every Sunday, 6 to 8 p.m. Best health comes from an optimal plant-based diet. We are covering […]

Barry Bonds is again in the news. All indications are that he will be found to have used steroids and then lied about it. My Olympic heroine, Marion Jones, did exactly this, resulting in the loss of all her medals and her going to jail for six months. I suggest baseball’s Barry Bonds be punished […]
