Ref: 10/31/11 Open Forum, Silenced by immoral voices, Farrell. Ms. Farrell, our society has not deteriorated, it is advancing. The GLBT group correctly practiced their freedom of speech by opposing the parade leader selection of Coach McCartney. Yes, there are … Continue reading →

For some time I’ve known there is no such thing as truly objective journalism. All of us are subjective in what we select and omit. Up until now, I’ve thought the Boulder Daily Camera (BDC) was mostly “Fair and Balanced”. … Continue reading →

The representation of a recent letter to the editor that liberals are fanatically resentful of corporations and their profits is just plain wrong. What liberals and others are resentful of of is the excessive power money has in the political … Continue reading →

Tell the Regents the University of Colorado not to support Israel’s illegal occupation and apartheid of Palestine. Occupy demonstrations are springing up from Wall Street to Pearl Street. Some of these demonstrations remind me of protests in the ‘80s when … Continue reading →

In the 1960’s I was the Assistant City Attorney for the City of Santa Clara, California. The City had its own electric system. Our rates were 10 % less than Pacific Gas & Electric. PG&E charged the City a higher … Continue reading →

“One goes out, another comes in,” the German-born woman said as I entered the lobby after another black resident had just exited. Most white Americans understand that to refer to two black men that way is offensive. Such objectification permits … Continue reading →

2nd Grader Clara Thomas’s wonderful Sunflowers, in Sunday’s School Report, would have made Vincent Van Gogh weep with joy. Copies will be sent to my daughters east and west. The copy in the Camera will framed on my wall. You … Continue reading →
