Letter To The Editor

My response to Letter to the Editor from Ms. Jeanne Scrivner- Hello Ms. Scrivner. My wife and I would like to thank you for taking the time to respond to our Letters to the Editor on the Covid19 panic. Although we are in disagreement, we have nothing but respect for anyone who will discuss these…

Re: What About This? by Wayne William Cipriano. Mr. Cipriano owned up to being “wrong” about Covid-19 when he failed to take it seriously. Many of us failed to take the outbreak seriously when it began. He made the point that whether we take the threat seriously or consider Covid-19 as little more than the…

In response to Jeanne Scriver’s editorial.  Dr. Brady wrote the “What If?” to stimulate people to think for themselves, do some research themselves and to question the information put out on the mainstream media, which our President of the United States said is “fake news”.  She mentioned that Dr. Brady had no statistics, well there…

Re: What About This? by Wayne Cipriano. Mr. Cipriano asked for responses to his comments about the Harvey Weinstein charges and verdict. The whole concept of sexual misbehavior has been widely ignored, exaggerated, accepted and condemned. The overriding question is  this: What is the standard of behavior? Standards of behavior are vital. Without standards, behavior…

Frankly, I was appalled by the letters written by Kimberly Brady M.D. and her husband Bob Urban concerning Corona Virus in the two most recent issues of the Douglas County Herald.  Dr. Brady went on and on about “What If?” I, for one, want facts not hypotheticals especially from a doctor.  Facts as of 04/25/2020…

As I recall it was Ronald Reagan who once quipped, “The nine scariest words in the English language are – I’m from the government and I’m here to help.” Well, here we go again. The government finds a problem, blows it up into a panic, then offers a solution as only a government can: More…

What if…? What if the number of Coronavirus cases is not accurate and is actually exaggerated by many times? What if the estimates are based on a flawed computer model? What if the developer of the model has so admitted? What if the death certificates are being modified to show more Coronavirus related deaths than…

Letter to the Editor: It was just last week, March 19, 2020, when the most cogent, most concise examination of our society’s response to “the drug problem” that I have read in any newspaper appeared in the Douglas County Herald. Tom Kara, from Norwood, Missouri, took the time to construct, polish, and submit for publication…

Letter to the Editor Okay Ava, here is your chance to ask yourself “How can I be of use?” Governor Parson has issued a State of Emergency as of 4:30 pm. March 13th, 2020.That is fact.  What is also factual is that this is a situation in which we cannot isolate ourselves from reality. Instead…

To the Editor: It seems almost every issue of the Herald includes drug arrests. Is the War on Drugs working? They say “the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.”  In 1920, good intentions got our Constitution amended to prohibit alcohol. Proponents thought Prohibition would eliminate the evils caused by intoxication. Instead we got…
