Dear Editor:

God: For those who do not believe no proof is possible. For those who do believe no proof is necessary. Even though Stephen Hawking does not believe, he is one of my favorite authors.

Dear Editor:

My name is Lucas Bowers. Between April 2006 and August 2009 I served in the U.S. Air Force in support of Operations Iraq and Enduring Freedom. I served as a military police officer (Security Force's member), and I did so honorably. After my discharge, I applied for benefits under Chapter 33 or the Post 9/11 G.I. Bill. After I was approved I enrolled in Kutztown University with the hopes of completing my education.

Dear Editor:

My response to the two individuals who rebutted my opinion on 3-2-13 about faith. I do not proselytize, and my opinion was never intended to be personal.

"It's a pity they have a closed mind deaf, dumb, and blind; and totally ignorant."

The truth is the many who claim to be transformed by Christ's love are deeply, even murderously, intolerant of criticism. It is clear that such hatred draws considerable support from the Bible.

Dear Editor:

February 23rd's editorial page A3 featuring Religious Faith Will Never Die Out by Henry the Free Thinker and Hope's Gramlich's opinion regarding a government land grab of private property titled Use Land In The Interest of Society deserve another reading.

Please don't be angry with me Mr. Free-Think for popping your bubble.

Dear Editor:

Just read Monday's Times-News about taxing the rich , make that the extremely wealthy. It just goes to show how half-truths make the TV news networks. Like mostAmericans I assume (and you know how to syllabicate it!) that the reporters have done their homework and what they report is reasonably accurate. BUT the printed report on the same subject casts a different light on the subject.

Dear Editor:

Did you ever wonder what architects charge for their designs of public projects? Most architect fees are based on the value of the project and charge from 6% to10% of the total cost of the project they are asked to design. When there is a choice of designs, the architect and their influential friends will push for the most expensive design. The new proposed bridge over the Lehigh River in Jim Thorpe will approach the 50 million dollar price tag which will be paid by we the people.

Dear Editor:

I would like to send out a huge thank you to the Carbon County 911 dispatchers, the Nesquehoning police, especially Chief Smith, and my wonderful neighbors who went above and beyond the call of duty to help me until I was safe at home on Saturday morning.

It's people like this who make our community such a great place in which to live.

Thanks everyone.

Happy in Nesquehoning,

Pete Longo

Dear Editor:

Yes – across America there seems to be a trend where you could take your dog or cat to a gym, just like some of us go to a gym.

There is water therapy, inclines and treadmills, even various instruments that can maintain your pet's heart rate and etc. The focus and objective of these pet gyms is to lose weight.

Dear Editor:

Is America on its' way to oblivion? What has happened to us? We once were a proud nation of "let's get things done. Period." No Mickey Mouse politics to muck up a good intention. Why do you (we) keep on voting for ego-centric politicians who walk around like gods?
