Arming schools isn’t the answer, regulation is

Responding to Maine Gun Owners Association's President Jeff Weinstein's (article, Dec. 21): "The best and only protection you have from the bad guy's gun is your own," is as tactical as suggesting the best way to protect yourself from drunken drivers is to drive drunk yourself. This thought won't resolve anything. Is Weinstein willing to pay all salaries, training, liabilities, consequences etc. that could go wrong?

From federal republicto an oligarchy

Our form of government has changed from a federal republic to an oligarchy. An oligarchy is a form of government in which control is exercised by a group of individuals whose authority is based upon wealth or power. China, our competitor, has no defined government form, only a mandate by the old communist form of government while it transitions to a combination socialist government and capitalist economy, unlike any known before now.

Town offices should offer equal not special rights

I could say shame on Maine for allowing gay marriage, but I have to say shame on some Maine towns taking advantage of the gay marriage vote.
