Letters to the Editor
Readers respond to the editorial about generational despair; comment on women force to travel for an abortion; were glad the Hunter Biden trial followed the rules; and agree about halting executions.Your editorial noted, “Only 37% of Texans ‘strongly agreed’ that ‘Democracy is the best form of government,’ down from 40% in 2023 and 53% in 2019, the Texas Lyceum poll found.”This poll result could be interpreted in several ways.
As Winston Churchill said, “Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those others that have been tried.” Later this year we will have a choice between two parties’ interpretation of democracy. Both have been clear on their true intentions and in the end, we will get the government we deserve.Important points are made in this editorial, some of which are greatly impacted by free market forces and an imbalanced economic system.
I wonder how any of our state leaders would react if someone close, say a wife, daughter, relative or close friend, was in the same situation?Hunter Biden’s trial is over. There were no threats directed at the judge, the court staff or the prosecutors. No doxing. No threats of violence. The president respected the rule of law.Re: “Why Texas Should Halt Executions — Doubt about death row inmate’s guilt in ‘shaken baby’ case is one reason,” Wednesday editorial.
And yet, the verdict of the original trial court is held to be sacrosanct. It is extremely difficult for a convicted person to get any relief in the appeals courts, even if there are serious doubts about the evidence used to convict them. Yes, we need to have confidence in our jury trial system.After having a tough week, nothing did more to brighten it up than to see the photograph of Victor Corone accompanying the story “Downpours drench South Florida” in Thursday’s paper on Page 6A.
