I have just read Mr. Hager's comments in the letters section of this great paper ("Was the Easter Bunny flap motivated by religion?"). My children have lived in Agoura for the past 15 years. A Jewish family, they and all our friends of the same faith have never rejected the religious activities of any ethnic group. More ... I completely agree with the Acorn's editorial about political correctness gone awry with the renaming of Easter eggs as "spring eggs. More ... In regard to Robert Hager's letter to the editor, "Was Easter Bunny flap motivated by religion?" I resent the implication that Jews on the Agoura Hills City Council were behind renaming this tradition a "spring egg hunt." Does the author know this for a fact? More ...

We've been at it for over 30 years at a cumulative cost of hundreds of billions of dollars and usage rates are actually higher now than they were when we started. More ... I don't know where Juliet Hotchkiss ("Marijuana safer than alcohol") gets her information from, but the notion that kids who turn from alcohol to marijuana and become "kinder and gentler" is like saying a knife is gentler than a gun. More ... After throwing $500 billion down a rat hole in the so-called war on drugs, marijuana is more popular than ever and our administration's answer to drug cartels is to try to take away our guns and give Mexican president Felipe Calderon Black Hawk helicopters to escalate this insanity further. More ... It is no mystery that our economy is now suffering from a death-defying disease. The world is too complex, too complicated for the human mind. In modern society, people seem to be consumed by want and never seem to be satisfied. More ... Letters RSS feed |
