“Is violence putting Earth in jeopardy?” and other Letters to the Editors

Is violence putting Earth in jeopardy?

I’m wondering why all the news never seems to be anything positive. We turn on the television or read the daily newspaper and sadly, most of the news is bad. Could it be that the world is so full of violence and hatred that the 7 billion people on Earth may be in jeopardy?

The space program mission seems to be exploring the possibility of life being on other planets. Maybe they should worry more about maintaining life on our own planet by putting more money into research to cure cancer, heart disease, diabetes, etc., rather than fighting these long hopeless wars.=

The president of Syria has seemingly decided not to wait, because he is already killing his own people. It’s been said for a long time, “Don’t trust the Russians,” and rightfully so because President Putin seems to be going along with what’s happening in Syria.

Norton always ready to listen

I have known David Norton for 20 years. I have witnessed him in action as a judge and as a family man. He is always ready to listen and is a very compassionate person. He has an excellent background in law and as a judge. Please consider voting for David Norton for General Sessions Court judge.
