We certainly do not need or welcome another outlet for alcoholic beverages in our community, particularly as this will be in the nature of a packaged dealership, which means bringing these drinks into homes in Winona Lake and environs.

- Prison Response - Walters Benefit Prison Response Editor, Times-Union: Jennifer Whitaker - in the future if you choose to write an answer to one of my letters, which I welcome, would you please read what I have actually written without adding and accusing me of things I didn't write. I did not use the words "life threatening" as you say I did.I do not agree with plea-bargaining.Either you committed the crime or you didn't. For your information, I consider crimes against children to be most intolerable.Anyone who has no more control over themselves than to sexually abuse a child does not belong in society.That person deserves to be locked away for life and deserves whatever happens to him or her in prison.

Gas And Presidents Editor, Times-Union: This is to Lonnie Slone concerning the letter about Obama/gas prices. It’s really discouraging that after all the drama and conflict about oil within and outside of the United States borders that American citizens still blame the president for the gas prices. I am in no way an Obama advocate, but putting this on his shoulders is absurd. Gas prices are monopolized, not by him, but by the oil companies themselves. Did you know that they have meetings to decide months in advance what the gas prices will be? Sure there are certain natural disasters that can alter them, but they have a general idea what the gas prices will look like half a year from now. This isn’t President Obama’s doing, and it wasn’t President Bush’s doing. This is greedy American oil distributors wanting a large paycheck at the end of the week. That is the American way, right? So next time you “Google gas prices in America”, Google harder.
