Thank you for your editorial about State Senator Ben Westlund, Democratic Candidate for State Treasurer. I want to commend you for providing a balance to The Bulletin's tired and, as usual, biased coverage.

So far in my experience, I have concluded that the Universe runs on Love. Who knows how many people would say that they have had that same experience? However, I feel that many people would say that the thought of the Universe running on Love makes them feel good.

Letter of the Week

With all the talk of a coming out party at the Beijing Games, China has a miserable record on human rights and the IOC has done little to pressure China into meaningful reforms. The week's LOW asks that the viewers make a statement by choosing to tune out the Beijing Games.

Note to Shelby Harwood: I hate to break it to ya, kid, but "Lynyrd Skynyrd" effectively died in a plane crash in 1977! No offense, but I suspect you hadn't even arrived on the planet yet. I was a mere 16 when I saw them at the Long Beach Arena (in Long Beach, CA) earlier that year and I happened to have been walking down by the Deschutes river this evening.

Approximately four weeks ago I submitted my application for consideration as a possible member on the Juniper Ridge Advisory Board. Last week on KTVZ Juniper Ridge was a featured news item and Oran Teater was interviewed as a "member" of the Advisory Board.

I just want to give a big shout out to the city for such a dynamic job of paving 14th street last Friday morning. Oh wait, I completely forgot, they abandoned the project for the weekend.

Damn- I can't stop world hunger, Darfur, corporate thieves, evil K Street lobbyists, but I can, with thousand of others, try to save a little bit of the world I call home.
The next time you step out your door don't look up - look down and start counting the number of butts lying around beautiful Central Oregon.

In the middle of May this year, a friend of mine was kind enough to post a response to C.T.

Letter of the Week

If you own or rent a house in Central Oregon you know what this week's letter writer is talking about. We put the phone book bombardment right up there with the Bulletin's Marketplace free classified in the pantheon of unwanted commercial litter.
