Editor, Daily Press:

This is concerning article, “Computer porn popular in Bible Belt,” in the Friday, Oct. 9, 2009 paper, by writer Teddye Snell.

I found this article, especially the first sentence, to be offensive to me, as a Christian and a member of a church.

Why not the next time you’re in a bar or honky-tonk, look around, or why not the next time you’re at a ballgame, take a good look at the person next to you?

Why not the next time you eat at a restaurant, take a look at the people sitting at the next table? Why slam church people?

It’s OK if you throw this letter in the trash, as I at least go to express my thoughts.

Women met Tuesday, Jan. 17, who believe in the values of a strong U.S. Constitutional government, with more power in the state and local government; women who believe our federal government is spending out of control, to the point of pushing our nation into the poor house. We call ourselves conservatives.

Thieves target cross

Kudos to the City Council
Editor, Daily Press:
Our elected officials showed wise judgment at [last] Monday’s City Council meeting. They chose individualism over collectivism.

Scare tactics on aliens?
Editor, Daily Press:
I just finished watching scare tactics on a new channel called the Curiosity Channel, on satellite television. It was about, “What would we do if we were attacked by beings from outer space?” It was, in my opinion, designed and produced by the big corporations who are now running the world.

Think twice about testing
Editor, Daily Press:
I do not condone the use of drugs by welfare recipients and I do not believe that many can afford to use drugs. I also do not condone government intrusion into the private lives of citizens.
