Letter to the editor: Letter-writers should educate themselves

I resisted writing this opinion for a few weeks. As I read more letters, I realized I had to speak out. Thank God we have the First Amendment. And this page is just what it says it is, opinion. (We can write or say almost anything in this country.)

One writer discusses affidavits. Because it is signed by the writer doesn’t mean it’s true. Another writer broaches the subject of the stock market drop and says he lost three times the value of his first home purchase. Guess what — the next week you got the money back, and then some. Yet another writer addresses socialism and invokes Marxism, in an attempt to show that this country is moving in that direction. Not by a long shot. Because we take care of our own, and others as well.

So do me a favor before you write: Take a civics or political science course, and brush up on market economy and stock market history.
