Letters to the Editor

Rulli’s response

Dear Editor, I recently sent a letter to Rep. Mike Rulli about my concern with his bill, “the Gambler Act,” to increase funding by $300 million for ICE. (According to the president of the U.S., ICE is only picking up hardened criminals.) My letter suggesting changing the law so that a speeding ticket, a parking ticket, or failing to renew a green card would not be considered a crime. He acknowledged that these are low tier criminal offenses. In making this change, ICE would not have to pick up so many immigrants. Rep. Rulli wrote, “The U.S. is a nation of laws ... violators must ...

Worries about AI

Dear Editor, “The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie,” (2 Thessalonians 2:9) The previous Bible verse is a reference to the antichrist.

Mental health stigma

Dear Editor, We need to address the stigma against mental illnesses and related areas. People with mental illnesses aren’t faking anything. They are debilitating and can cause problems with physical health if left untreated. This shows up in headaches, fatigue, a weakened immune system, and increased risk for diabetes and heart disease. In addition to individual health, mental illnesses create difficulties forming meaningful relationships, being productive at work, and being motivated at school. Instead of judging others when they exhibit behavior one might typically think of as ...
