- Chavez - Immigrants Chavez Editor, Times-Union: Your characterization of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez (Dec.4 editorial) was both misleading and hypocritical. Offering economic incentives to attract political support should not strike anyone in this country as something new.Indeed, U.S.politicians have become expert at offering tax breaks, contracts, and other legislative plums to win votes - and contributions - from the nation's richest individuals and corporations.Where Chavez departs from the U.S.model is by directing his nation's largesse towards its poorest citizens, rather than its wealthiest.

Editor, Times-Union: 04-11-2011, I got call from my nephew, the hospital was dismissing the mother and baby. Because the test was not back they were taking the baby. I ran back to the hospital to find a different woman with DCS and a police officer. They told me they were removing the child and placing her with a family for her own safety. I asked why I was not the first choice as I had a nice home and my wife and I could care for the child and meet her needs? She handed me a paper that was a court order for a 3 p.m. hearing to remove the child. I read the filing and found discrepancies as to where the child would be living and that the police were called because of the arrogant uncle and father.

- Winona - Politicians Winona Editor, Times-Union: We put up unneeded stop signs because it will make it safer for our little children.On the other hand, we build a restaurant and restore a hotel that will sell liquor, making it unsafe for our little children (unless we vacate all of the streets in town so no one can drive). People are saying that it is OK to sell liquor because other things are being done now that were not allowed years ago (purchasing and use of cigarettes, swimming on Sundays, and cursing and swearing).That is real good reasoning, people! Is that how we bring our children up - they are going to do wrong anyhow, so why not allow it now? Let's not let one wrong be done because other wrongs are being done.

Editor, Times-Union:Mr. Joshua, dude. In my last letter I was blunt, and I say what's on my mind. When I say honey or sweetheart, I say that with everybody.
