Gary, my son, my brother, my father...
[Read the article: A tale of two horrors]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Your words ring so true into my very heart and mind and soul. But will the people understand? That is the question that nags all. My guess: no. And life and death proceeds. And proceeds...

[Read the article: A tale of two horrors]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Your post rings of "yeah we did, but so what...others have, it ain't as bad as depicted, we had only the best concerns in mind, etc, we need to finish the job..." Do you understand what Gary was pointing out? Do you?
Read the article again.

I'm no expert on this stuff but
[Read the article: When Mike Gravel attacks]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Mike Gravel's comments seem to me to come from a candidate who has nothing to lose and everything to gain, so to speak. And many times these candidates speak more frankly and from the heart. Not sure where Mr. Gravel's heart or previous utterances are at, I've never heard of him and I am not watching the debate, sorry. But my personal feelings toward his comments were....wow! I liked them, on face value. He's probably un-electable.

Interesting...
[Read the article: Three questions for Robbie Robertson]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I have been a life long fan of the Band (the Band or The Band?). My mother bought me an eight track tape of them about 1969 or so (I was born in '52) called Stage Fright. I had only listened to the Beatles and the Smothers Brothers and Simon and Garfunkel! To this day, though I guess I could ask her, I don't know why she did that. Mom was a recorded country music singer. I listened to the Band and I liked. Anyway, these comments are interesting. My take, as if it matters: from the letters here and from what I have read in the past including books about this band leads me to believe that there is some truth in all that I have read, from all of them about all of it. It is a mixed up situation. They were (are) a great band. Robbie was and is a great writer and thinker. The rest of the Band were great players and also talented writers at times. Robbie (and I want to believe he knows this) wouldn't be where he is today without 'em. I have discovered things about Garth lately that vault him over Robbie in terms of musical knowledge and musicianship in my mind.
In the end, I agree with someone else on here...they were possibly the most greatest band this side of the world has produced. Hope I am not exaggerating. And this kind of thing is so subjective, you know?

[Read the article: You can't stop a tidal wave with a fork]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Our task is not to cuss others in the world, it is to suck it up and find a way to make a living, while (possibly?) finding some happiness or solace in the world standard of living going up. Can't we all just get along? Share the wealth? (not) And thank you David, for a thought provoking article. It was (is) interesting, Mr. Silverman. And I agree with your POV.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Right on. I have personally seen the swing of power from workers to managers and owners here in Lawrenceburg, KY. I hope your points will sink in here and abroad sometime in the near future. Nuff said.

I get frustrated...but here's the thing, folks:
[Read the article: Poor, poor Gonzales]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Don't argue against the arguments against those in power now by implying that those who could gain power after this will do the same thing. Stop, don't do it. Argue against and for principles and our shredded constitution. And expose pubs and dems to the same argument, BOTH PARTIES. Thank you. Outta here. This is settled now.

[Read the article: Waiting for Sarkozy]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Nicolas Sarkozy and some in France and some here in the good old USA are genuinely on the same plane, evidentally. Thank you, Mr. Levey, for your words of encouragement. I take them to heart as I watch my grandson swallow some french fries...from McDonald's. 'après la pluie, le beau temp'

Ended the damned Vietnam war???????
[Read the article: Nixon knows best]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]My mom told me that Nixon got us out of the Vietnam war a few years ago. I nearly laughed in her face (I didn't). She was remembering his promises. I was 16 years old when he was first elected promising to end the war. I voted for McGovern in 1972. We pulled out for good on April 30th, 1975. Gerald Ford was president. Richard Nixon got us out of Vietnam? I don't remember that. Does anyone else?

[Read the article: Nixon knows best]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]What are your thoughts on the author's statement that Nixon 'got us out of Vietnam'? As to: "The problem is finding someone with the motivation for the job who has neither too much conscience or too little"; Nixon had too little, of course. Who has or had too much?

[Read the article: Nixon knows best]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Your younger initial takes at a young age were right. Believe me. I experienced some of your feelings you describe, I was born in 1952. Seeing a man grieve his wife's death. Seeing a president (Ford) presented in positive terms.
But the civilians who died in Vietnam, let alone Cambodia...dear God. And for nothing. Let alone our sons' and daughters' deaths.
I can say no more. Life's mysteries elude me but unheroic men and women portrayed as heroes eats at my dying belief in hummankind.
