Loving memories <\/p>\n
Your recent articles about Alzheimers were sad yet beautiful. Victims leave beautiful, loving and caring memories. Alzheimers robs many people of everything. <\/p>\n
I am without a husband. Fredrik Malmborg lived until December 31, 2011. He was 81. <\/p>\n
His Alzheimers began in 2004. It was a slow, painful decline. He was a school teacher, remembered by many. I was the one who sang to him up to a few months before his passing. He never complained. We leaned on each other; best friends do that. Only those who have lost relatives to Alzheimers can comprehend the pain. Speeding up the studies and cure of the horrid disease certainly should have precedence over fighting wars. We can pray, someday, tax dollars will go to valuable causes. <\/p>\n

Regarding the May 25th article False Statement by Cynthia Dill accusing David Trahan of misstating her position on gun control. She claims her statements consistently support the Second Amendment. <\/p>\n
I do not know David or Cynthia. What I do know is that Senator Dill chooses to avoid her stand on the Second Amendment by using the excuse that jobs and the economy are much more important. Then goes on to blame the NRA for passage of laws that support Second Amendment rights. Then states there is a difference between a vigilante and a sportsman. I would like to remind the Senator that the Second Amendment does not mention vigilantes, sportsmen or hunting. It clearly states the right to keep and bear arms. <\/p>\n
Regarding her statement allowing Mainers to take the law into their hands during an emergency: While our police departments are trained professionals, they cannot always be there when you need them, especially in rural areas. Human beings have a hard-wired program for self protection; for fighting back; for safeguarding their families and communities. As Americans thats why we preserve armed self-defense as part of our Second Amendment protections. Gun control provides overwhelming advantage to criminals; their unarmed victims <\/p>\n
cannot fight back. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
