Kudos for city for trail

— Dear editor,

Kudos to the City of Weatherford for the Town Creek hiking/biking trail. The city is doing its part to reduce obesity in our city by giving our residents a super surface and lighting to use for walking, running and biking.

Please don your walking shoes and enjoy the trail beginning at the Weatherford Chamber of Commerce, Weatherford Police Department, Holland Lake Park or Ikard Elementary School.

These trails take you one mile or more and include resting benches and drinking fountains.

You will enjoy this scenic walk/run/biking.

Check it out.

Gale M. Bradford,

Weatherford

    Dear editor:

    When Marx and Engels wrote the Communist Manifesto in 1848, they presented ten steps necessary to destroy any free enterprise system and replace it with Communism. Step number two is to establish a heavy progressive or graduated income tax.

    West Texas droughts

    Dear editor,

    If anyone is wondering why the Texas Legislature took two billion dollars from the states rainy day fund for water projects, I suggest you drive through west Texas.

    Dear editor:

    There are those that think Senator Ted Cruz should sit back and learn the ways of the Senate. He should be seen and not heard. If Texas wanted to have a Senator to just be seen, we could have sent a cardboard picture to Washington.

    Hope is not a plan

    Dear Editor,

    I have noticed that the city is pumping water into Lake Weatherford on a regular basis. It makes me wonder if anyone has done the math comparison on digging a deeper lake, maybe putting in a new one somewhere, or at the very least dredging out the one we have.

    Writer takes issue with Roman history lesson

     

    Dear Editor,

    It is more than a bit curious that someone would produce 685 words of erroneous history, cheap sermonizing and unwarranted conclusions all for the purpose of telling the neighbors they’re ungrateful barbarians for being unwilling to swallow the medicine being shoved down their throats by an overbearing government. It is impossible to address all of the errors and falsehoods on display in this screed, but there are some particularly egregious points that need be addressed.

    Vote yes to bond

     

    Dear Editor,

    I’m 50 now and ever since I was a little girl, I wanted to be a social worker. My mom and dad subscribed to National Geographic and I read it from front to back every month. The stories taught me how across the world people needed help in a variety of ways. From that point forward, I knew I wanted to be a helper of society as a whole. So, I got my degree and eventually was a social worker for the Texas Department of Human Services where I served hundreds of people in need.

    $131,000 spent on Dragon Robots for preschoolers to teach language skills. Interaction with humans inadequate, evidently. $25,000 spent on virtual mummies. $100 to $150 million paid to deceased Government workers.

    Dear Editor,

    Do liberals ever think about what will take place in the future? Environmentalist want to stop the pipeline from Canada.

    Dear Editor, 

    Since 1995 there have been a group of guys and some women who have played tennis on a regular basis here in town. They sometimes refer to themselves as the (unofficial) PCTA.

    Dear Editor,

    I had a dream last night.

    There sat the dog-faced John Kerry before the Senate confirmation hearings for his appointment to Secretary of State. After the chair had praised his vast “diplomatic experience” followed by praise for his integrity, honorable service, etc., he finally turns the hearing over to the rest of the panel for questioning – and here is where my dream turned to fantasy. For in my dream the first Republican Senator to ask a question starts like this:
