To The Editor: The Roman Empire was great in power and culture but opened itself to perversion. We have opened the door as Roman by not standing up for truth. There is a new moral code, call it being compliant.

To The Editor: I understand that the U.S. has always subsidized fuel prices. In Europe they are not subsidized; however, they have adequate public transportation. My question is: Why have the diesel prices remained as high as they have? Is this to "cause" a food shortage and a goods shortage?

To The Editor: Concerning the front page article "BCSO employee under investigation," in the Thursday, Feb. 16, edition, I have to say that I believe that publishing this piece front and center in the paper, with multiple photos, was in extremely poor taste.

To The Editor: The World Economic Forum (WEF) and the World Health Organization (WHO) are pairing up to make global health rules for all of us on this planet, in all countries. They are not asking for our input or our approval. These rules will be mandatory for everyone, except the elite and the people making the rules. These rules will override our United States Constitution and we will be victims and slaves to their recommendations.

As I type this letter in Cleveland on Dec. 22, the forecast is calling for a low temperature of about 7 degrees F on Friday morning. By the time you see this on Dec. 31, we should be back to much more comfortable temps and a very decent end-of-year weather forecast. Historically, Cleveland has nearly the lowest average annual snowfall of any city in Tennessee: about 1.5 inches. So it is easy to take that for granted.

Earlier this week my friend and I made a visit to check up on a friend in Bradley County that wasn’t answering her phone. When we got there, we saw that there were items on the porch which had been delivered two weeks before. So a call was made to 911 for a wellness check.
