Letter to the editor: Missing when we were Christian, English-speaking

I’m beginning to think that you know when you’re old when nothing at all makes sense any more. If we can’t stop it, control it or deal with it, let’s legalize it. First it’s murder (abortion) then it’s marijuana what is next? Maybe theft, heroin, shootouts in the streets?

We used to be considered a Christian nation. Now, we don’t allow Bibles in school, churches everywhere are closing their doors, and we are eliminating all religious statues, references from public places.

We used to be considered an English- speaking country; now, you dial 1 for English. Why don’t others dial 1 for non-English?

Yes, I am old and I cherish the memories of my childhood, when kids went outside to play without being abducted, drugs were aspirin and cough syrup, and we rode bikes without helmets and no one was brain damaged. Stores closed at 5 daily and all day on Sunday. You got presents only at Christmas and maybe your birthday.

I love dogs and I hate to think of animals being used for experiments, but I can’t see how we can accept abortion of humans and be outraged at inhumane use of animals. Tried by a jury of your peers and you are jailed, yet now you are freed! It doesn’t make sense.

Read Revelations; we’re there.
