To the editor: Edward R. Murrow as soon as mentioned, “A nation of sheep will beget a authorities of wolves.” It jogs my memory of an previous parable in regards to the two wolves inside us, one good and one unhealthy, which can be continually battling. The nice wolf represents bravery, fact, generosity and the opposite good issues we search to be. The unhealthy wolf represents greed, anger and hatred. (“Democrats belatedly wake up to start battling Trump and Musk,” column, Feb. 17)
A would-be king and his cohort oligarch symbolize the unhealthy wolves. Uninformed and apathetic residents and Republican politicians who crave privilege and job safety are the sheep.
An excellent wolf’s perspective is at all times based mostly on the query, “What’s finest for the pack?” The individuals who attend rallies, write postcards, ship letters to the editor, name elected officers and hold themselves knowledgeable of the dismantling of presidency applications and insurance policies are the great wolves. We exhibit our energy now and sooner or later by exhibiting as much as defend human rights, science, social justice and a democracy in peril.
The nice wolves will help elected officers who do what’s in the perfect curiosity of our nation. Typically we have to remind them that it’s our voices and votes that may decide their destiny in two years. If the pack of excellent wolves continues to develop, we’ll achieve doing what’s finest for all of us.

To the editor: It’s time that congressional Democrats acquired a backbone and began noting the lies spouted by the Trump administration.
Each lie uttered by this White Home must be publicly rebutted within the halls of Congress so the reality will get an airing on nationwide tv. Have varied Democrats communicate so their phrases will probably be heard by their constituents; don’t simply depart it as much as one outstanding Democratic speaker.
Folks want to listen to the info moderately than simply the lies. Silence implies acquiescence. That’s the very least our representatives ought to do.

To the editor: President Trump and Elon Musk are paring pointless expense from the federal funds whereas on the similar time discovering costly abuse of taxpayers’ cash by exposing wasteful federal applications everywhere in the world.
What’s placing is that Trump and Musk have the braveness to do that tough work, and the opposition, stricken with distemper, is unable to hitch the cut-fest and strengthen our nation. Democrats proceed to advocate tax-tax, spend-spend, whereas Republicans are actually paring, parsing and praising the trouble.
