Letter: There’s no need for name calling
To the editor:
Recently, I overheard a local activist refer to another member of our community (who was discussing the current budget crisis in Warren) as a “right-wing nutjob”.
To this I can only say, if holding a different perspective on the needs of our town and the issues at hand, calling for spending oversight, demanding results for proposed legislation that restricts our rights, and pointing out that the current methods of doing things are not working and unsustainable, I guess it’s time to have t-shirts made.
The inability to accept that the other party may indeed have a legitimate point and solutions to offer is a major part of the problem in districts that are ruled by one party and have been for many years. Let’s move past the name-calling, shall we?
