Re: “Print versus Plastic: UA Researchers Weigh the Benefits of E-Books”
The continuing tendency to make e-books and print books compete with each other is futile. Apparently some want one of the two to "win" this competition that may not really exist. People who like to read certainly can benefit from both. No reason we can't read in bed at night with the lights out and a back lit screen, then crack open a hard copy edition during the day. My Kindle has hundreds of books, just like my shelves. We're lucky to have both types of reading available to us.
Re: “Guest Opinion”
Thank you, Pam Simon, for writing an outstanding column. Last March, during my winter visit to Tucson, I stopped by the shrine at the Safeway shopping center, where Mrs. Simon was shot. There's a photograph of little Christina-Taylor Green there. Nine years old. She was killed. A couple of years before that, my wife Mary and I hiked from the Gabe Zimmerman Davidson Canyon Trailhead to Cienega Creek. Mr. Zimmerman was killed, too. Those are two of our fellow Tucsonans no longer with us. There are so many more ... tens of thousands around the United States ... who are no longer here, because the NRA enslaved our politicians to worship guns. I hope as you read Pam Simon's words, my amigo, that you will devote just a little bit of time and maybe some money to help pass effective gun laws that will stop this carnage.
Re: “Editor's Note”
This edition of the Tucson Weekly catapulted my interest with the Jack Dykinga piece and the one about the Ironwood National Monument. Great content! Thanks. Jack Dykinga is one of my all time heroes.
Re: “Review Re-ignites Battle Over Federal Land Use”
What has been abused is our public land! Extraction corporations ... livestock grazers, miners, loggers ... take, take, take to the detriment of wildlife and wise use for long term benefits. We need more national monuments, more wilderness areas, more national parks NOT less. tRump and his oligarchs are destroying our public land heritage.
Re: “Danehy”
Allen P ... the former family members and ex-friends turned on me, when they voted for tRump, who is methodically destroying much of what is very important to me. Bolstering the 'for profit' health care industry, liquidating public land, reversing environmental protection, cutting public school funding, and a long list of other attacks on government policies that help people. Government is not bad. There are many policies that benefit the majority of people in the United States. tRump is the one who fooled voters. His lies are legion. Our children should note just how devious this sonofabitch is and how he has destroyed the United States standing in the world.
Re: “Danehy”
Mr. Danehy wrote another outstanding column. I agree 100% about talking to the fools who voted for tRump. In fact, I disowned family members who did and withdrew from friendships, some decades long, with idiots who voted for the rotten sonofabitch tRump. The cult of ignorance leads to completely mistaken opinions and votes that are so far fetched, only the ignorant could possibly believe them ... like thinking tRump is going to help anyone other than the rich get richer, particularly himself and his spawn.
Re: “RIP, Author and Activist Kathryn Ferguson”
The disrespect toward Kathryn Ferguson exhibited by some of these comments is disgusting. She is a wonderful author who contributed greatly to humanity.
