Dear Sir,

I would like to clear up a misconception that may have been created by something stated in last week’s article about Love in Action (LiA).

Dear Sir,

I was astounded and shocked to read the article “Feud over mission statement rocks Love in Action shelter” in the current Reporter, since I know of some other supporters who have distanced themselves from the shelter in addition to the six now former members of the Advisory Committee.

Dear Sir,

In 1887 Alexander  Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior. “A democracy is always temporary in nature. It simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until  the time that  voters discover that they can vote themselves generous  gifts from the public treasury.  From that moment on, the majority always  votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse  over loose  fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by dictatorship.

Dear Sir,

After his sarcastic, unnecessary and totally insensitive statement, I wonder if Mitt Romney stayed around London long enough to witness what has to be one of the most spectacular Olympics, ever.

Dear Sir,

We are grateful for Jeanne Chaussee’s article in the Reporter about the new Dog Shelter.  However, many of the plans for our new shelter are still in the development phase. Not all the t’s are crossed and the i’s dotted.
