Bed-wetting a misery, but not a criminal act

Parents, get the point across without hitting
March 17, 2010
Oh Lordy, I sure hope that Katrina Gathers, the usually sensible writer, is not going to turn into "Mommy, dearest" now that she is a parent. ("Good parenting means creative discipline," March 12.) So she has a relative who has put the... I attended a small open-mike fundraiser Friday night at Wheeler Library in North Stonington for Haitian earthquake victims. I brought my two young daughters and other family members and we had a great time. I want to commend Wheeler High... Why is the news media - The Day included - so obsessed with the tea party movement? The movement, which in actual numbers is fairly small, is basically rural, old white people, mostly men, who don't want to give up the America of the 1950s. Based on recent correspondence from Rep. Joe Courtney, he is ready to vote for the health care bill currently approved by the Senate. This bill is full of special considerations including a Medicare Advantage break for 800,000 seniors in... While the images of the recent Willetts Avenue apartment fire in New London are still fresh in our minds, we should speak to our friends and family about renters' insurance. I was in a fire years ago and lost everything and it is so... I am a lifelong Democrat and I support the current mayor in New London, Rob Pero. Mayor Pero is for the people and he cares for everyone. It is about time New London has had the opportunity to have him as our mayor. For more than 10 years... Much fuss has been made about Congress "creating a new entitlement program through reconciliation." While it is true that this is not anything new (SCHIP, COBRA), even experts are uncertain about how passing a new public-option plan through... Budget time is here again along with unfunded mandates and the MER (minimum expenditure requirement for education). It's also a time when people say you can never spend enough money on education. Paul Harvey once stated, "It is not the... We require our children to attend school and provide them with transportation, textbooks, computers and other supplies. We must not only nourish their bodies but also educate them, along with their parents and the community, about the... A letter writer opposed the Dog Watch Café's expansion in Stonington Borough to include outdoor music ("Say no to disruptive noise in the borough," published March 9) because, "Granting the requests would irreparably harm a community focused on... The juxtaposition of Lee Howard's articles in The Day, "Pfizer CEO gets 12.5% raise from last year's $14.9M," published March 4, and "Pfizer Alzheimer's drug proves ineffective," published Feb. 26, were telling. Pfizer Chief Executive... Last year Waterford had 80 percent of the money needed for its ambulance fund but decided to spend it on a private ambulance service instead. This money should be put in the general fund for use by the town.Bad aim is the least of newspaper problems

March 14, 2010
Kudos to the team who dream of bringing the America's Cup defense to New London ("America's Cup in New London? Unofficial group floating the idea," published March 11).
There's a rich yachting history here; the town was a regular and...
Cutting tax rates for billionaires
March 14, 2010
The tea party movement commendably supports lower taxes and government spending.
Here are some tax-reduction facts based on Internal Revenue Service data:

March 13, 2010

According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, abortion kills a baby every 23 seconds in America. In 2005, 1.21 million abortions took place in the United States.
