Letters to the Editor for May 17
Afghanistan withdrawalYes, it was messy. We don’t learn from our own history. We went into Korea, and the DMZ wasteland still divides Korea 70 years later. We went into Vietnam, gave up, and had a messy withdrawal. We went into Afghanistan and after 20 years, 2,402 American soldiers dead, 20,713 wounded, endless numbers returning with PTSD, we withdrew. It was yet another ill-advised war at tremendous cost in lives and dollars, and it had to end.
The White House may want everyone to purchase an electric vehicle. But if people don’t want to buy them they won’t buy one.ie Tucson” EventGail Rubin, founder of Before I Die New Mexico, is fond of saying “Despite advances in medical care, humans still have a 100 percent mortality rate.” Thanks to all who attended the first Before I Die Tucson event on April 16th. Thanks to Loft Cinema: a Tucson gem perfect for hosting this free community event.
Caveat emptor cannot be the sole epidemiological policy for what amounts to culinary Russian roulette. Nor is so far, so good an acceptable guiding principle for public health.Pima County board meetingWent to Pima County Board Meeting this week and was very impressed. Board members asked good questions, the agenda was relevant, and discussion was well managed. I happen to be from District 1, and thought we were well represented.
RoadsI see where a pothole may have caused the death of a motorcycle rider. As a motorcycle rider myself, I try not to come to Tucson any more than I have to because the roads are atrocious. I-10 alone takes shameful to a whole new level. I hope the family of the deceased rider sues for, and gets, millions of dollars along with any court orders necessary to fix the roads. I also hope the city of Sierra Vista learns from this, and does something about their equally horrible roads.
In 2017 guns became the biggest injury-based killer of children and young adults in the United States. Guns kill more children each year than auto accidents. More children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active military members. States with more gun ownership have higher rates of homicide.
In the last election Trump received more votes than anyone in history except Biden. Pretty sure good old fashioned Republicans across the nation cast their votes for Trump. Now we are facing a looming debt crisis, it would take about five Republicans to cross over and vote to do the right thing for the country. Where are these good old fashioned Republicans? From Nixon, all the way to Trump, Republican policy has been small, petty, and self serving.
