Tyrannical abuse of constitutional power

Treading a path into glory

It takes every kind of people to make this big old world go around. We can not all be leaders. Some of us have to be followers. This weekend we will remember past leaders, and followers. Many followers have died in war, nearly anonymously. We do not know their names. They are not famous. But thei…

St. Louis, what's the rush?

For most of my fifty-years, I have been a proud resident of the St. Louis area. In my time, the typical words of a middle-aged person, I can recall watching the 1968 World Series via black and white television while seated on the floor of the gymnasium at Keysor Elementary School in Kirkwood. As …

Animal abuse is a symptom of wider problems

It is with a heavy heart that I write this letter in response to the article about 5 dogs found dead at a building in St. Louis on May 15, 2012. The lack of respect for ANY life that the individuals who committed these atrocities have is astounding.

So we have David Nicklaus, once again, carrying water for the Chamber of Commerce (Boost in bottom wage no solution, May, 11, 2012). Mr. Nicklaus patronizingly argues that proponents of the effort to increase the Missouri minimum wage to $8.25 per hour (what Illinois already requires) should rely…

Impressive new park shows tax dollars at work

On May 11, 2012 I had the opportunity to attend the St. Charles County Parks Department’s dedication ceremony for Towne Park, located on Highway 61, several miles north of Interstate 70. The theme of the park is History…Nature…Education. I was quite impressed.
