Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.

Texas Flat

Something needs to be done about that road. It’s simply too dangerous as currently constructed.

We need choices

What’s wrong with us having access to multiple sources of energy? After we drain all the oil and dig out all the coal, we’re going to need alternatives. The irony is that the oil companies are already investing in alternative energy sources. Hence, the battery warehouses.

White House Christmas

What a beautiful setup our First Lady has created in the White House. It’s wonderful to see.

They stole it first

President Trump says Europe’s culture is being erased. That’s rich coming from invaders who destroyed, plundered, and stole the cultures of other civilizations. That’s why museums are under attack now. They are destroying evidence.

Michigan Men

The University of Michigan football program loves to talk about “Michigan Men.” Judging by its last two coaches, it looks like lying and cheating are two of the important factors in being a “Michigan Man.”

Another war ended

Since we recently pardoned the former Honduran president convicted in the United States of drug trafficking, does that mean we can add the War on Drugs to the numerous wars our Dear Leader claims to have ended?

Don’t hate

Hate isn’t in my vocabulary. It is a word used a lot toward people and I think it’s a terrible thing. You might disagree with others, but that’s human nature. Always remember that things can change, and your thinking can change too. Be considerate toward others as you want them to be toward you.
