An inconsiderate "thumbs down"
(Editors' note: The following letter is in reference to our
Jan. 1 "thumbs down" to the man who broke out firearms and took
Christmas Day shots at his neighbor, a volunteer fireman, two
Southern Ute Tribal police officers, and members of the Colorado
State Patrol and La Plata County Sheriff's Dept.)
Dear Editors:
Two thumbs down on the
Telegraph's remark about "The local who brought big city headlines
to Durango by celebrating the season of giving with bullets and
fire." For anyone to make light about something so tragic, well,
it's weird.
No one should be mocked
when they are suffering from such pain and/or grief. I just thought
it was not a cool Thumbin' It.

The serious business of peace
Dear Editors:
OK, so yeah we've got
'im. We got this psychopath, this pathetic, pitiful and very sick
little man. Whoopee. Now we need to get on with the even more
serious business of peace and saving lives. We can begin by
reconstructing the thousands of families and infrastructures we've
destroyed.
Some cooking gas would
be nice, and dependable electric and other utilities would be
fantastic, along with a whole bunch of clean water. I say bring in
the needed medicines, techies and teachers. Then we can really
celebrate, and maybe, just maybe, the world will forgive us. Herr
Bush has made this our responsibility now.
