A happy Veterans Day to all our men and women who have served and those who are now serving all over this volatile world.
Sour Grapes Go Down Hard
Let me see if I have this right: the Bowdoin Christian Fellowship was told by Bowdoin’s Administration the group could no longer meet on campus because it has not adhered to the college’s “non-discrimination policy.”
Therefore the Christian Fellowship moved off-campus into its own building.
VETERANS’ DAY EVERY DAY
While this is the 2014 election issue, it is also our annual Veterans’ Day issue and this year, for the first time literally in decades, we do not have a feature story on a local veteran ready for our front page.
Seek Real World Solutions
I have read a lot of post election analysis over the last two weeks. Many pundits who clearly haven’t liked Governor LePage over the last four years have written pieces that express befuddlement as to how he got re-elected. There is one fact which has gotten very little attention and that is that our current governor got the highest vote total for that office in Maine history (291,937).
SIFTING THROUGH THE RUBBLE
As we sift through the rubble of last week’s election, two things are apparent to us.
Ebola
The hysteria sweeping the country about Ebola is completely unwarranted. It’s just bald, unknowing fear. Ebola is almost as difficult to contract as AIDS, and for the same reason.
Storm Takes Power
We’re off to a great start with thousands of homes without power due to our first winter storm of the year. Hats off to Central Maine Power crews for doing the very best job they could restoring power.
BUY LOCAL
We are just about to hit prime time for the retail season and as we do, we urge you to remember our local businesses.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING
We have days on our calendar, and rightfully so, that specify times to honor certain groups of people.
Overwhelmed, Touched
I would like to thank all of the people that attended Neil’s celebration of life held on Oct. 18, 2014. I always knew that Neil was a kind and gentle man, but I was overwhelmed by all the people he touched, which was obvious by all the tributes, as well as people in attendance paying their respects.
A Stressful Situation
We have a very stressful situation at our place.
Someone has been taking rocks from our stonewall out front of our house.
Irony
In his letter to the LCN last week, Chris Johnson closes by writing the following: “If you’re fed up with the role of money in our elections…”
To Poll! To Poll!
There has been an abundance of candidate endorsements in these pages of late. How can these folk be so certain? Keep in mind the Old Master’s advice in Tao Te Ching 65 (as translated by Victor Mair): “Ruling the state through knowledge is to rob the state; ruling a state through ignorance brings integrity to the state.”
We Are Truly Concerned
I address my concern to Governor Paul LePage and the Maine Republican Party. We see his ads on TV and they state he and his party are for small business.
