To the editor: Edward R. Murrow as soon as stated, “A nation of sheep will beget a authorities of wolves.” It jogs my memory of an outdated parable in regards to the two wolves inside us, one good and one unhealthy, which can be continuously battling. The nice wolf represents bravery, fact, generosity and the opposite good issues we search to be. The unhealthy wolf represents greed, anger and hatred. (“Democrats belatedly wake up to start battling Trump and Musk,” column, Feb. 17)
A would-be king and his cohort oligarch symbolize the unhealthy wolves. Uninformed and apathetic residents and Republican politicians who crave privilege and job safety are the sheep.
An excellent wolf’s perspective is all the time based mostly on the query, “What’s finest for the pack?” The individuals who attend rallies, write postcards, ship letters to the editor, name elected officers and maintain themselves knowledgeable of the dismantling of presidency applications and insurance policies are the nice wolves. We display our energy now and sooner or later by exhibiting as much as defend human rights, science, social justice and a democracy in peril.
The nice wolves will assist elected officers who do what’s in one of the best curiosity of our nation. Generally we have to remind them that it’s our voices and votes that can decide their destiny in two years. If the pack of fine wolves continues to develop, we are going to reach doing what’s finest for all of us.

To the editor: It’s time that congressional Democrats obtained a backbone and began noting the lies spouted by the Trump administration.
Each lie uttered by this White Home needs to be publicly rebutted within the halls of Congress so the reality will get an airing on nationwide tv. Have numerous Democrats converse so their phrases will probably be heard by their constituents; don’t simply depart it as much as one distinguished Democratic speaker.
Folks want to listen to the info slightly than simply the lies. Silence implies acquiescence. That’s the very least our representatives ought to do.

To the editor: President Trump and Elon Musk are paring pointless expense from the federal price range whereas on the identical time discovering costly abuse of taxpayers’ cash by exposing wasteful federal applications all around the world.
What’s putting is that Trump and Musk have the braveness to do that tough work, and the opposition, stricken with distemper, is unable to hitch the cut-fest and strengthen our nation. Democrats proceed to advocate tax-tax, spend-spend, whereas Republicans are actually paring, parsing and praising the trouble.
