Today's Opinions

I’m writing in response to the nice Christian lady who suggests that the president of the United States of America is the Anti-Christ. I cannot let this go unchallenged.
I think this woman is suffering from a serious case of Fox News overload.
The letter seems obsessed with gay people. Who is the self-proclaimed judge of morality?
I think it was God who said that He created everyone equal and in His image. Does this mean that she believes “everyone” means everyone but those “bad old gay people?”

On behalf of my nephew, Bret, who is a resident at Southwestern Virginia Training Center, I thank Chris Brooke and The Gazette for all your time and articles on the proposed closing of the center.
We are fighting to keep the residents their homes and the hundreds of employees their jobs.
This is a great facility with personnel to care for all their needs, and home to these residents who cannot speak for themselves.
They do not want changes to disrupt their lives. They like structure and need it and have it here.

The feud in Fries seems mainly to displease a few individuals who feel that only they can decide and debate everything.
Yes, I am an “outsider,” and we were attracted to Fries by its atmosphere, ambience, and friendly, helpful people. It’s a lovely place to live.
I would suggest that the complainer(s) get an unbiased referee, invite (politely) all the interested “outsiders” and privately sit down and discuss their differences until  reasonable agreements can be reached.
