I was reading on one of the bookmarks at the Bellevue Library about the facts about tobacco. I was shocked to find out cigarettes contain ammonia and arsenic. How is it possible that they can sell to the public something that contains ammonia and arsenic? Doesn't that constitute endangering the public?
The annual brutal slaughter of baby seals in Canada is on its way. It's the largest slaughter of marine mammals on the planet.
Last year more than 72,000 baby seals as young as 12 days old were clubbed and shot to death and some skinned alive.
The Canadian government condones this massive killing of Harp seals.
Because of decisive actions of the FBI, law enforcement officers can sleep easy knowing the heinous plot of the Hutaree, a Michigan-based Christian militia, has been thwarted.
Okay, so we have what is no doubt the greatest system of government in the world -- but -- some of us are very tired of the political attitude which says "Everything we do is right, and everything you do is wrong." Health care? How many of us really understood this issue before making up our minds?
Just asking.

And the students and staff of Sandusky High School's music program did it again!. We saw these accomplished young people perform Fiddler on the Roof. Under the direction of Ron Albert, these Sandusky students were once again able to present a charming mix of acting and musical talent that has withstood the test of decades.
I don't think I can hold a recent letter writer too responsible, especially if he listens to the mainstream media and the leaders of the Democrats. They both have certainly implied, if not specifically stated, that all the violence and threats have come from Republicans.
As someone with a pre-existing condition, I have found that health care has sky-rocketed to the point that my monthly premium is bigger than my mortgage payment. I greatly feared my ability to get health care in the months and years to come.
On Jan. 23, I was informed Mercy Willard Hospital no longer wanted my services.
For four years, the emergency staff at Mercy has been a stable, energetic, altruistic, well-trained group of nurses and doctors. I have been a team leader and educator for the nurses, and a good friend. The emergency care at Mercy has been outstanding.
Thumbs UP to Jamie Steinemann for taking care of the business end of the baton at Firelands Symphony Orchestra. Conductor Carl Topilow keeps the music in tune, but Steinemann directs behind the scenes, making sure the money comes in and the publicity goes out -- and Sandusky and environs gets to keep a first-rate bit of art and culture.
Marcy Kaptur for stood up for the people in your district and standing with the seniors in support of the health care and insurance reform bill. The elimination of the doughnut hole in the prescription drug program alone is appreciated by me as a senior.
Many American businesses throughout the past 50-plus years sought cheaper labor and materials by moving their work offshore. Then the cheaper products and materials were shipped back to the U.S. for sale and distribution.
On Feb. 9, my mom lost her 11/2 year battle with colon cancer -- she was just 63 years old. It had metastasized to her lung, brain and then her chest. After being diagnosed, she became a strong advocate of colon cancer awareness. She spread the word to everyone that it is preventable, treatable and beatable when detected early.
If you want a scapegoat for greenhouse gas emissions the obvious choice is the nuclear protesters who prevented us from having clean, non-polluting nuclear power. They are mostly folks with liberal arts education who know nothing about engineering or worse, movie stars who know nothing about anything.

The indictments of nine members of the Hutaree Christian militia group, who allegedly plotted to kill police officers, has focused attention on a large class of other people who have not committed any crimes and who don't deserve to be lumped in with an alleged terrorist group.
Recently, a benefit was held to aid Jacob "Bubba" Andrews with the expenses he will incur as he undergoes treatment for brain cancer.
To be a part of this event was a truly remarkable experience. The kindness, generosity and support from Clyde and the surrounding
The way Republicans have been acting is very disturbing: spitting on people, threatening people's families, throwing bricks through Congressional offices, calling people hurtful names -- finally Republicans are showing their true colors. I'd expect that from a communist country.
