US image has gone from peacekeeper to warmonger
Every year it becomes more and more apparent that, as educated as we have become as a nation, we have learned very little from history.

It’s time to consider war contractors’ role
As many people have heard, another man has leaked some secret government information. This time it's about a huge database that the NSA is collecting of every phone call and email we send. (Everyone, all of us.) There are plenty of reasons to be upset by the fact that our government is keeping a record of every single phone call and every single email that we send or receive. I guess we're supposed to be glad that they won't listen to or read them unless we pose a threat. Of course we're sure that they know just who does pose a threat.

Other forestry programs deserve ‘green’ recognition
As you reported ("States Fight Green-Building Leader Over Local Wood," June 9), a growing number of states are joining the long list of elected officials, forestry experts, conservationists and others who urge the U.S. Green Building Council to promote responsible forestry in North America by opening up the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program to other credible forest certification standards, including the Sustainable Forestry Initiative and the American Tree Farm System.

My self-expression about immigration reform has been stymied because I've been afraid I'd vomit on my keyboard.

Background checks don’t infringe on gun rights
I am writing in response to the latest vote in the U.S. House on gun control. I feel it was a total mistake on their behalf not to institute some sort of background checks for private sale gun purchases. Is this really an infringement on our constitutional rights? I do not see where it would be anything but beneficial to the American public.

LePage missed chance to be leader on fires issue
I just read the article about Gov. Paul LePage's reply to the Lewiston man regarding the state's response to the recent fires there. It is my view that the governor's response should have been an attempt to help create a private coalition that would find money to aid the fire victims if he couldn't contribute the actual money from state funds.

Katz’s energy bill support helps families, business
As an energy auditor, I see the impact of homeowners and businesses who invest in energy efficiency every day. Energy costs take a big chunk out of Maine peoples' budgets every year -- more so because our housing stock is old and not energy-efficient. Tightening up our homes is the best, most cost-effective way to reduce our energy costs as a state.

Drivers, horse riders need to keep an eye out
First of all, thank you to the drivers who slow down for horses being ridden or driven along the road. I would also like to ask the drivers who don't slow down to please do so. It doesn't take long to slow down and proceed with caution and keep everyone safe. Riders should also be courteous to drivers and not ride in the road. If avoidable, stay on the shoulders.

Looks like CMP, meters smarter than we think
Smart meters were supposed to save us money. So far it hasn't happened for me.
