So Many Complaints, So Little Action
In 1991, most Americans (and political candidates) were complaining how bad the US economy was; the tag line often was (what´s most important topic of the presidential campaign?) "its the economy stupid". Then, the RTC was working, yet many thought too slowly and Clinton-Gore and Ross Perot ha...
Letter concerning article "What is the Macedonian Question? - Cutting through the Rhetoric"
I recently read Mr. Stefov´s article "What is the Macedonian Question? - Cutting through the Rhetoric" (http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/75113) and would like to point out that it violates at least two of the classifications of the "Editorial Board Contributor Policy". In addition t...
Bravo! Minister Osman – US ban on Eritrea has no teeth
When the US economy is blinking under massive financial intubation, the United States government banned arms sales to Eritrea. Does it really bite? It has been a while since countries around the globe have called for a multipolar world. This is after the US led unipolar world has failed to g...
Greek Macedonia
In his article entitled "Will there be Justice for the Macedonians in Greece," link Risto Stefov falsifies and distorts the history of Macedonia and its Greek ethnic origin and presents it as territory that is occupied by the Greeks. To begin with, the word itself is of Greek origin, and it is de...
Letter to Editor: Does a Pregnant Woman have Rights?

REPLY TO AMBASSADOR LEVANON´s RESPONSE

Response to Dangers of Plastics on Children
The March 9 article "The Dangers of Plastics on Children" posted on your site could cause unnecessary concern about the safety of bisphenol A (BPA). For more than 40 years, extensive scientific investigation has been conducted by government, academic and private sector researchers to evalua...
In support of Prof. Muhammad Shamsudin Megalomotis

In support of Prof. Muhammad Shamsudin Megalomotis article on Kinijit Party.
It would be hard for those who enjoy full freedom of speech and free media, to believe that in certain part of this world ordinary citizens are subjected to losing their lives, jobs,and many times face imprisonments.

Letter of Support and Solidarity with Dr. Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis

More Truth: Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
I had a chance to receive and read the message by Mr Abebe Gelaw to yourself under "Hate speaches of Dr. Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis" As anyone who lived under deluded Abyssinian/Ethiopia domination knows fully well, the contents of the brief message was to silence the voices of reason and ...

RE: Holding Time for Troubled Kids by Susan Kuchinskas, April 2, 2007 (American Chronicle)
While I appreciate Susan Kuchinskas’ attempt to discuss the importance of developing healthy attachment relationship between child and parent, she does your readers a disservice by incorrectly linking the proven technique of Theraplay to “Holding Time”. For unknown reasons, following a len...
High Fructose Corn Syrup in Natural Products Is Perfectly Natural
The March 24 article “Uncovering Hidden Sugars in Foods for Children,” by Margaret Mead unfortunately mischaracterizes high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) by suggesting that it is unnatural and metabolized differently than other nutritive sweeteners. New research shows that HFCS is metabolized ...
Humane Society: Claims of Horse Abandonment Are Outrageous and Contrived
Dear Editor: Claims that thousands of horses have been abandoned are outrageous and contrived ("Kentucky overrun with unwanted horses," 3/15). This is the latest trick from hired lobbyists for the slaughter industry to reverse the momentum to ban the inhumane practice of killing healthy horses f...
War on Drugs and Illegals
After reading Bill Estep's Nov. 25th article (in the Lexington, KY Herald-Leader), "After 20 years, war on marijuana changes," I had an interesting thought: what if our police forces and National Guard worked together in an effort to curb the crop of illegal aliens? This crop has been springing ...
Fixing the Education System: Children Should Learn More
RE: Why Our Schools Don't Work, California Chronicle, May 13, 2006. Dear Mr. Haynes: I admire your ability to come forward and admit your faults so freely. Specifically, I am referring to your unashamed admission in your May 19, 2006 article for the California Chronicle that “honestly, I don’t...
America, A Christian Nation?
Ms. Alba (in "...America, A Christian Nation?") in your publication of May 4th writes: "Many modernists and scholars argue that America was never a Christian nation and was totally secular from the beginning. This is the lie being perpetuated by history revisionists and taught in our public schools...
FAIR, FLATTER TAXES FOR ALL AMERICANS
Dear Honorable Senator Shelby, I applaud you for thinking seriously about tax reform. I agree that the current income tax system is hopelessly broken. However, I can't agree that your Flat Tax proposal is the best solution. "Over the years, many have argued that I should support a national sal...
France's proposed new labor legislation illustrates why appeasement doesn't work
The situation in France over its proposed new labor legislation--legislation that would grant French employers slightly more freedom to hire and fire employees--is a graphic illustration of why appeasement doesn't work. After more than a million protestors took to the streets last month, some burnin...
The Continuing French Riots and Rights
When one million French protestors once again take to the streets to scream over the so-called injustice of a law recognizing the right of employers to fire young employees without cause, but only a brave few take a stand over the blatant attempt to curtail freedom of speech in the recent reaction t...
Borders' Capitulation Is a Victory for the Islamic Totalitarians
In another victory for the Islamic totalitarians, Borders and Waldenbooks stores decided not to stock the April-May issue of Free Inquiry magazine, which contains the Danish cartoons of Muhammad. The motive for their decision is clear. "For us, the safety and security of our customers and employee...
Weakening Three Strikes
Senator Poochigian claims the three-strikes law has been an effective crime fighting tool yet offers no study or proof of it. The fact is that every study ever written on three strikes such as those conducted by the Washington D.C. think tank, Justice Policy Institute, or the State Fiscal Analyst of...
Are the Olympics a showcase for patriotism or individualism?
There was a time when it was more important for an athlete to compete for his country than to compete for himself. When it didn’t matter as much who was standing on the podium as it did what colors were being raised in front of it. Those were the years that collective glory meant more than persona...
Medicare Part D ('Berg Bill Patches Hole in Part-D Program,' Feb. 6, 2006)
Dear Editor, I read with interest your article on Medicare Part D - "Berg Bill Patches Hole in Part-D Program," Feb. 6, 2006 (Assemblywoman Patty Berg). While Part D represents an enormous opportunity for managed care, success for participating plans is not certain. Despite early ed...

Intelligent Design Not Disingenuous
I am glad that my letter to the El Tejon school board provided such large percentage of text for Wayne Adkins’ recent editorial attacking myself and the Discovery Institute. Lieutenant Adkins believes it is “disingenuous” to claim intelligent design does not postulate a supernatural or divine desig...
Cayenne Bird's Article on Prisoner Abuse
I totally agree with Ms. Bird. Our prison system has gotten completely out of control. Inmates are sent to prison to pay for the crimes they commited, not to be beaten, abused and tortured by the system. True, there are those prisoners who violate the rules of society and the rules of incarnation...
Article About Dave Pruiksma Commended
I just wanted to commend Cassandra Bell on the article about Dave Pruiksma on July 7, 2005. While I was not a well known animator like Dave or even a well known Disney cast member outside of Disney Consumer Products, I CAN DEFINITELY relate to the inside deterioration of the company and the mone...
Rove's Characterization of Liberals
When the current administration took office in early 2001 they brought their own baggage and in-bred attitudes with them. The Karl Rove crew appeals to the Christian right, but their response to the 9/11 atrocity has been a perversion of Christ's teachings. Ignoring the root causes that feed our ene...
