Letters to the Editor

Thank you for Jack Money’s article on the Farmers Public Market at 311 S. Klein Ave, downtown Oklahoma City (News, “To market,” Oct. 14, 2009, Oklahoma Gazette). This wonderful place is on the historic register and has a rich history. Over the years, I have frequented the Farmers Public Market to browse and shop at […]

I was somewhat confused by the content of a letter (“Down the memory hole” by Lee Agnew) and a Commentary (“The Obama effect” by Kurt Hochenauer) that appeared in the Oct. 28 edition of Oklahoma Gazette. Mr. Agnew takes conservatives to task because they dared to speculate about the possible consequences of pending health care […]

Six lustrum and counting You guys are filling a huge void since the death of journalism at the daily paper where they no longer have journalists on the staff. Instead, they have public relations people for a couple of energy companies, several public works projects and a taxpayer-subsidized basketball team; they are now a fine […]

I re-read my letter, then Mr. Lamirand’s letter and I cannot find any basis in […]

Greg Wilhoit, sent to Oklahoma’s death row on nothing but erroneous bite mark evidence, continues to be wrongfully accused despite his exoneration. The record needs to be set straight. Greg was acquitted by a judge on retrial because the bite mark evidence had been discredited and the trial judge found no additional evidence of guilt, […]

In “A ‘cooperative affair’” (Commentary, Oklahoma Gazette, Sept. 30, 2009), Scott Jones asks “some big questions like, ‘Exactly what is government?’ and ‘What is its purpose?’” So where does Jones, a Christian minister, turn for answers? Jesus? The Bible? Theology? No. He turns to Will Rogers. No wonder Jones’ denomination is the fastest shrinking in […]

Harry Mitchell (Letters, “Taking a step back,” Oct. 21, 2009, Gazette) is so typical of the sad state of affairs he decries. He is some kind of Frosty Troy wannabe, who with one side of his mouth rails about compassion for the downtrodden and with the other side vilifies anyone who is even one degree […]
