Out of touch

Senator Greg Hinkle (R) of SD-7 is obviously completely out of touch with the dire consequences of the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disasters on going in Japan. His remarks comparing the impact of medical marijuana in Montana to the effects of the tsunami clearly show the Senator lacks judgment, is not sensitive to human suffering on a massive scale, is oblivious to the terrible tragedy in Japan and has no place in public office.

I have visited the Peace Park in Hiroshima-ground zero of the first atomic bomb, and have friends who died at Chernobyl. Mr. Hinkle I deplore your lack of knowledge, sensitivity and compassion.

Teachings of world religions

Thursday, May 14, 2015, Kalispell Public Schools Superintendent Mark Flatau, Columbia Falls District Superintendent Steve Bradshaw and Bigfork School District Superintendent Matt Jensen accepted the local Act! for America Chapter’s  invitation to answer questions about concerns related to teachings of world religions. For that they deserve our thanks and appreciation. It was certainly not a “regular day at the office” for them.

Unacceptable, absurd and ridiculous

Perhaps the governor should look in a mirror. He is, in his words, acting and speaking as if he and his words are “unacceptable, absurd and ridiculous.” Look at his statements on the wolf issue alone.
