This letter is related to the letter by Mr. Geedey in the April 12th letter in the Sentinel.
I am a conservative. The facts that have been realized over time about covid actually indicate that there was much overkill in the way that the pandemic was handled.
As far as 97% of climate scientists believe that global warming is real and dangerous and we are the cause. I say this: At one time, most everyone thought that the Earth stood still and the sun revolved around it. Also, that the Earth was flat until it was proven otherwise. As far as for the climate changing, it has also been changing for as long as it has existed. It has been much warmer in the past, as well as very much colder.
I don't know of anyone who ever said that this country was perfect. It could never be since it is made up of imperfect people, as is every other country. I do believe that this country is the best one going to provide all its people with the most individual freedom and the best chance for a happy life. The question is: are people going to live in the past or try to make the future better?
As for the way you look at the second amendment, I believe that it is the one amendment that makes it a sure thing that all the other amendments are protected. The main reason for it was to protect the people from an overbearing government. Guns are a tool like a knife, a hammer, a screwdriver or a wrench, etc. It all depends on the person using them. I can assure you that each one of the aforementioned tools, as well as many others, have been used to do bodily harm to people.
My common sense is different from yours. Isn't it wonderful that we live in a country where we have the right to disagree and express to everyone our point of view.
