Letters to the Marshfield News-Herald
Is it all a farce? In 2006 the State of Wisconsin had an election combined with a referendum: “Same sex marriage, or a functional equivalent of marriage: Yes or No?” The people voted: “No.” But Governor Doyle ignored the will of the people, legislating domestic partnership. In the MNH (9/29/2009) under the heading: Domestic partnerships, I found this announcement: “Joyce K Bittner and Barbara...

Something doesn’t make sense. I am referring to the editorial in the M. News-Herald (3/11/03) “We’re debtor nation for foreign docs.” Let me quote: “It is good for U.S. clinics, hospitals and patients that we are able to attract doctors from other nations, but not good for the countries where the doctors were born and educated.” My comment! If the attraction for the...

In the spring of 1945 when the American Army rolled into Mering they torched its archive. Mering’s history was redocumented by following the paper trail, using letters, news paper clippings found in private hands and documents referring to Mering in neighboring communities. There is an extensive German paper trail documenting the disenfranchisement, deportation and...

The framers of the American constitution, educated men and well versed in European history did not want the religious conflicts of the Old World to become part of the new one. Therefore the first Amendment reads: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion …” in other words politics is to butt out of religion and religion to butt out of politics. Congress...

Editor MNH: 1/8/05No, Rev. M-W , it is not the fear of the other which makes us, the heterosexual majority oppose legalizing same sex unions. Sex between a same gender couple is like the couple sitting in a car which has no connection between the motor and the wheels. We neither fear nor hate this couple, but think it silly to give them a driver’s license when their car just sits in the...
In front of me is the article W.W.II veteran’s extraordinary tale makes it onto canvas, video ( M. News-Herald 2/15/2002). Clarence M., a sergeant of the U.S. Air Corps stationed in Northern Egypt was shot down on Sept. 14, l942 by German anti-aircraft fire while attacking a German air base. His leg was so badly burned that the doctors could pick up his skin like tissue paper. However he...

What is sauce for the goose is not always sauce for the gander. What fits one society is not always befitting another. In classical Greece a sex-love relationship between an adolescent boy and a man was accepted, in Sparta it was even desired . In Sparta an elite, the former conquerors, ruled over a disenfranchised majority. This elite could only maintain its position through...

The mothers’ rally for strict. gun control in Washington, D.C, and the subsequent shoe exhibit on the sidewalk leading to the Wildwood Park pavillion were touchy-feely events. Thought was not involved. But without thinking we are like reeds in the wind easily manipulated to act against our own self interest.
We are supposed to willingly disarm ourselves while the criminals...
