| America should use petroleum recources Sunday August 3, 2008 While the Republicans and Democrats attempt to impose what each party considers the solution to our rising cost of gas and home heating oil (not to mention everything else along the food chain that is impacted), and our continued dependency on foreign sources, we, the people, continue to pay for their dalliance. |

| A hard road to democracy Sunday August 3, 2008 To paraphrase Winston Churchill, democracy is a most imperfect form of government - except for any other system ever tried.
