Charlie Vogel: Forgotten history
Ideas are very powerful, they shape civilization. The socialist agenda of the 20th century comes to my mind. When Mussolini came to power in Italy in the 1930s, he proposed many of the same ideas as Barack Obama and the Democrats are pushing forth: attacking business, increasing government spending, (excessively) taxing productive people and subsidizing those who are not, and promoting a sense of grievance and envy among the populace, class warfare as it were.

Jimmy Westlake: What we don't see
I've been an astronomer for so long that it's hard to remember a time when I looked up at the night sky and was totally lost. I was about 12 years old when I had an epiphany one night while looking up at the stars. Suddenly, the utter randomness of the myriad stars transformed into the familiar shapes and patterns I had studied on my star charts. Ever since then, the sky, for me, has been full of starry friends, and I am never alone at night.
Jo Stanko: On the road again
As the winter recedes, farmers and ranchers in Routt County are going back on the road. Just like the migrating birds and bicyclists whose visibility increases into summer and fall, farm equipment and farm vehicles on the various roads across Routt County also are increasing. According to a national survey done by Successful Farming Magazine, more than one-third of farmers spend an estimated 50 hours a year moving equipment on public roads. A crash between farm equipment and a car, truck or sport-utility vehicle is five times more likely to cause a fatality. It's time for extra care from the farmer and the general public.

I have read with interest the responses to my letter of May 11. The complete title of my letter was, "Audacity of Hope vs. Cowardice of Fear." The editors decided to edit it.

I would like to address a few of the issues raised.
