Because of the horrific event in Connecticut, I believe there is no better time than now to talk about the sacredness of life.
When the parents are asked to talk about their child who was just brutally murdered, they speak about them with love and joy while fighting back tears from the pain they are now suffering. It’s just another reminder to me that all life is sacred.
From the moment of conception, all aspects of our human nature and our uniqueness are in development. Whether we see it or not does not deny the truth of that fact.
Our society for the most part and our laws do not reflect this. We value usefulness and accomplishment more than life itself. We treat each other as objects; we abort, we experiment, we kill, we unplug, we starve, we suffocate, we mutilate, we rape, we molest, we traffic, we exploit, we sell and we throw babies in Dumpsters. And we wonder why these tragedies happen?
The greatest tragedy in this country is we legally kill millions of children before they become elementary students. Where’s the newscast bringing us that tragedy? A country that kills its own children will never have peace. Never!
My heart aches for those children in Connecticut who were so brutally murdered at a time of great innocence. My heart equally aches for those children killed by abortion at a time of innocence and in a place (a mother’s womb) where evil hands dismember life. I pray for all children who’ve been killed, born and unborn, and I especially pray for the close to 20 children I helped kill when I was an operating room technician in the Air Force.
May God have mercy on all those who’ve participated in abortion or allowed it to remain the law of our once great nation.
When you can legally kill your own child, what message does that send?
Today we celebrate – for unto us a Child is born. Do we celebrate life in all of its stages? Or do we make choices based on economics and convenience?
For unto us a Child was born, and he was savagely beaten and brutally murdered. When we as a nation forget that Child and are no longer able to teach about his birth, his life, his death and his resurrection, then we have lost our heart and our conscience will turn to evil.

'Public servants' need more than hand-slap
More people are getting the courage to expose the bad in this town and county. I hope the May 17 Kokomo Tribune article was read real careful, and people noticed who knew about what happened to Floyd Ogden.

Commissioner takes both sides of issue
Much like John Kerry several years ago, Paul Wyman seems to have actually voted for the $87 billion before he voted against it. This chap cannot seem to make up his mind on the issue of industrial wind complexes.

Let people be free; legalize use of drugs
I think it is an unfortunate display of unbridled power fueled by mistaken notions about the consequences of drug usage, production and distribution that two raids were allowed to take place in Kokomo.

Servicemen enemies of U.S. Constitution?
One of the enduring features of our constitutional republic is the right of its citizens to know what their government is doing. The current administration has decided to develop new policies on religious tolerance in the military.

Good people wouldn’t do this to their neighbors. This common refrain is being heard over eastern Howard County where industrial development is planned for our farmland in the form of massive wind turbines.

Letters to the Editor: May 12, 2013
How fortunate, that after years of trying to bring top-notch wind energy companies to Tipton County, this great choice is here for us — just at the right time. Tipton County badly needs the revenue from clean wind farm companies.

Letter to the Editor: May 10, 2013
As a taxpayer and concerned citizen of eastern Howard County, I have read some of the latest scholarly and peer-reviewed information available on industrial wind turbines. It’s not something I ever wanted to do or expected to do, and I do not pretend to be an expert even after reading much information.

More than 1,500 Hoosier children just received an early death sentence from the Indiana Legislature. By slashing the state budget for tobacco prevention and cessation by 38 percent, our lawmakers told us that the health and future of our children isn’t important.

The citizens of Howard County have watched Tipton County’s elected officials deal with growing opposition to wind farms. They have responded to the concern of their citizens and are reviewing their ordinances related to wind development.
