Alcohol problem


Letters to the Editor

Kevin Acers
I am not impressed with the Gazette’s glib celebration of alcohol consumption in the March 9 “Alcoholmanac” issue. Evidently, a business decision was made to use St. Patrick’s Day as a selling point to advertisers by capitalizing on the day’s associations with booze.

Downtown lacks a decent grocery store


Letters to the Editor

Maj. John Haley
I live near the Oklahoma City Museum of Art. Having come back from Europe (I am in the military), I miss the ability to just walk to a small grocery store near my residence to purchase groceries.

Adequate ammunition


Letters to the Editor

B.R. Anderson

Regarding Joel Hendrickson’s recent comments (Letters, “Gun advocate’s argument full of holes,” March 9, Oklahoma Gazette): Hendrickson lives in Oklahoma, not the United Nations. Our soldiers wear green or tan helmets and are trained to kill and/or destroy things, not wear blue helmets and spew false statistics.

A more perfect union


Letters to the Editor

Jim Ammerman
Jason Reese (Commentary, “Can it happen here?,” March 3, Oklahoma Gazette) starts out his argument with an opinion stated as fact. Reese states that “the only viable answer” is to convert defined benefit pensions to defined contribution pensions, and that “collective bargaining rights” are “the root of the problem.”

Letters to the Editor

Joe Hatcher
Regarding “Burger bliss” (Food & Drink, Feb. 16, Gazette): You missed the best onion burger place in Oklahoma City: Abraham’s Western Cafe at 4716 N. Western.

In the name of science


Letters to the Editor

Darryel Reigh
I would like to test the injunction to “teach the controversy” concerning creationism and evolution as advocated recently by Jason Reese (Commentary, “Legislate morality,” Feb. 9, Gazette).

Why vote Swinton?


Letters to the Editor

Jay Johnson
Recently I received a bulk-mailed letter from Oklahoma City Council Candidate Charlie Swinton thanking me for my voting record, in which he also acknowledged his opponents who did not make it to the April 5th runoff election.

Sharia’s Ms. Manners


Letters to the Editor

Steve Finefrock
Imagine if all the personal practices and courtesies and odd ticks of our nation’s father, George Washington, were made into mandated behavior for all Americans.

For medicinal purposes


Letters to the Editor

Jessica Watson
I am glad you are a paper that will acknowledge Senate Bill 573 (“Herbal remedy,” March 2, Gazette), and the need for the public to know the truth. I can’t wait to follow the rest of this issue and for you to expand on this matter.

Letters to the Editor

Glen Garcia
In the debate presented Feb. 24 at the Oklahoma City Community College (Clifton Adcock, “Separation deliberation,” March 2, Gazette), Pastor Steve Kern declared that “the Constitution is a Christian document established by Christians to preserve the Christian social order already established in the colonies.”

'We don't eat puppies'


Letters to the Editor

Brian Crain
State Sen. Josh Brecheen, R-Coalgate, doesn’t like Senate Bill 1712, last year’s legislation crafted to lessen the inhumane conditions found at “puppy mills” in our state. In fact, he dislikes it so much that he has introduced SB 15, which would repeal SB 1712.

‘Marijuana is here to stay’


Letters to the Editor

Ron Ferrell
When I moved to Oklahoma City in the 1980s, there was “liquor by the wink,” and the other loophole was to bring your own bottle in order to have a cocktail, or become a member of that club. Liquor by the drink was illegal, but there were ways around the law.

Offtrack


Letters to the Editor

Randy Burghart
Blair Humphreys (Commentary, “Streetcar for the car-free,” Feb. 16, Gazette) is using bait-and-switch tactics! He is trying to get support of the rail system by saying it is going to serve the poor and impoverished.
