Support for young/seniors
To the editor: Caring for an aging spouse or parent or a young child is challenging. Sometimes family or friends do not have answers to the tricky questions of dementia/ Alzheimer’s or cannot fully assess a toddler’s development. 06/26/2024 04:30 PM
No lethal force
No lethal force
To the editor: A letter in the June 19 Enterprise erroneously claims that the DOJ authorized the use of lethal force against Trump. Here’s what actually happened: the search warrant for Mar-a-Lago contained boilerplate language that’s put in every warrant to remind agents of the FBI’s policy regarding limitations on the use of lethal force. 06/26/2024 04:30 PM

To the editor: It was reported last week that North Korean defector— Yeonmi Park—is astonished at the anti-Western forced thinking, trigger warnings, safe spaces, preferred pronouns, and political correctness she encountered as a student at Columbia University, saying “even North Korea isn’t this nuts.” Park cannot believe she was asked to do “this much censoring of myself” at a U.S. university and observes that Americans seem willing to give their rights away, not realizing they may never come back. 06/26/2024 04:30 PM

What will you remember in November?
Since nobody keeps track of it, there is no exact figure. But betcha dollars to donuts that millions of dollars is spent each year on media training. 06/26/2024 04:30 PM

To the editor: Please. Could we refrain from putting up political signs until just a few weeks before any election? Otherwise, we have months of visual pollution. 06/26/2024 04:30 PM

When you have a problem, talk it out
I understand that tensions are high in an election year with highly controversial presidential candidates. But nonetheless, I urge people to attempt an open dialogue with each other before throwing the first blow. 06/26/2024 04:30 PM

Censorship has arrived
To the editor: Unbelievably, and in a break from past practices, local senior citizens were denied their right to obtain political and volunteer information from both Republicans and Democrats at last Tuesday’s Senior Expo held at Suttons Bay High School. The Expo promised to “bring in over 100 vendors showcasing the latest in information, resources, products, and services; giving you the tools to live a full life as you age.” The Republicans and Democrats were kicked out of the Expo, and school policy was given as the reason, even though it is nearly impossible to imagine that a school in Leelanau County has an anti-free speech policy. 06/19/2024 04:23 PM
