Lets be honest here, we are not losing our freedoms because of Bush or Obama. We are losing them because of attornies and lawsuits. Just about every loss of freedom that we have encountered can probably be traced right to an attorney that sued somebody for something stupid that affected 1 person and now a whole country has to pay for it.

Jonathon, I would have to say the American voting public agrees with your belief that we were losing freedoms daily. That’s why they voted in November to change the direction of this country, hoping to regain what have lost.

I am, however, not so sure that Fred is a good example of a possible correlation between living someplace for a long time and becoming an expert on anything. It’s entirely possible, in fact very common, to witness and recite events without connecting the dots between actions and their consequences. That’s the reason for the lament, “Too soon old, and too late smart.”

The center of the universe is only in YOUR mind. We are loosing our freedoms daily. The government (Busch, Obama, or whomever) is way too far into our lives. Fred would know that because he has lived in Antigo many years. He remembers when we really had freedoms. I like to read Fred. he makes more sense than you do.

You know..I was thinking that very thing(about reprints from other newspapers in the editorial section) just a day or so ago..and was curious as to why this occurs.
I thought maybe there were not enough local letters or opinions to print, or that the letters that arrived were not deemed fit to print, or that the paper is trying to eliminate costs by not asking staff or editors to contribute…I could not figure it out…and not knowing how the ADJ is run, was not certain..but… you are right, at least we are treated to a broader and more nationwide perspective on currrent events, which is, indeed…. a good thing;)

Enjoy the rest of this gorgeous weekend!

I used to think it a bit odd, and somewhat of a shame, that the Antigo Daily Journal hardly ever ran editorials by ADJ editors and staff. However, I now think that the current abdication of community responsibility by most-often printing “guest editorials” and “what others are saying” from other newspapers is truly a blessing. It is depressing to imagine what irrelevant, misguided, uninformed, petty, arrogant, self-righteous drivel we would be subjected to if the ADJ actually published the distillation of its own alleged editorial thinking regularly on its Editorial Page. Perhaps we should be thankful for small blessings, wherever we can find them.

I love you!
I read this also, and was flabbergasted. What must people and companies being recruited to our area think when they read such buffoonery.

Please, Fred…do not make Antigo and Langlade county people look like country bumpkins! There are educated and “green” individuals and businesses in our “little” area…WAKE UP!
It’s rather frightening to hear what the “voice ” of the area has to say…

..Albus, keep driving your car, and I will keep driving my American made Saturn which gets tremendous mileage and oh by the way……it works in blizzards, too!

And I have driven my little green machine up in Langlade County for almost NINE years…

I don’t know who you are but I like you. Thanks for calling out someone being so obtuse.
