The Republicans, Democrats, Tea Party and Socialists have all let the American people down. All of us are disappointed, confused, angry and wondering about the future — not only for ourselves, but for our children and grandchildren.

Money for Teslow grain elevator could be better spent

This whole issue pertaining to the Teslow grain silo is gotten out of hand. What drives a person to spend hard-earned money on a building that was abandoned 50 years ago? Are we out of seniors living on fixed income? How about indigent mothers — are they no longer around? I just saw a great article on Mr. Eaton and Counterpoint. So I know they are still doing a stellar job.

For many years scientists around the world, and the institutions of higher education they represent, have been communicating to us, “We have a problem.” Many years of research has revealed the same results. One legitimate conclusion can be drawn: Our planet is changing at an alarming rate due to the burning of fossil fuels by humans. By taking into account the research of the past 50 years with historical events, we can guide ourselves to a more sustainable future.

Yesterday’s front-page article, “Conservation can likely meet power needs of Northwest states,” was timely and instructive. It feels great when clear solutions to our big problems become obvious.

I read with interest the letter from Levi Ellington in the Feb. 9 Enterprise. He urged using Lent as an opportunity to adopt “a meat-free diet for Lent and beyond.” He was invoking “Christ” and “Lent” to support his plea.

Lent affords opportunity to adopt meat-free diet

This Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, the 40-day period before Easter, when many Christians abstain from animal foods in remembrance of Jesus’ 40 days of fasting in the desert before launching his ministry.

Kudos on Obamacare letter

Editor:

Kudos to Mark Bolton for writing such an excellent “Obamacare” primer (Letters to the editor 1/29/16). After the inaccurate, misleading and inflammatory guest editorial printed on 1/27/16 (from the Minot Daily News), a calm, accurate and factual response was called for. Thanks, Mark, for setting us straight regarding the Affordable Care Act.

An Obamacare primer

Published on Fri, 01/29/2016 - 3:30pm

Editor:

It seems the majority of Americans are highly confused about the ACA, otherwise commonly known as “Obamacare.” And who can blame them? With so much misinformation, political rhetoric and flat out lies being brandished about from state senators to the guy on the street corner, it’s hard to know who or what to believe. Even if you go online and attempt to educate yourself from various sources, it still leaves you with a headache. So, just to add to your pain, here’s my take.
