Green lecturer/ leader Chandra Krout here on Oct 11
Editor: When I read the letters in the Indy I'm pleased to see letters regarding the environment, from traffic problems in town to wasted water, to the polluted Aliso Creek. Therefore, I thought readers including City Council members and City staff would be interested to learn that an environmental expert is coming to talk to us Lagunans. Full Story
Sale Nonpartisan political sign thieves
Sale Editor: Recently our "McCain" sign was stolen from our front yard, so I feel a kinship with Bill Rihn and Gloria and Manfred Wolff, who wrote last week that their "Obama" signs were stolen from their yards. I don't want to debate political views since I also believe every citizen of a democracy has the right to his or her own opinion. Full Story
Sign thieves are "slime ball Obama supporters"
Editor: Cowards at work… Once again my McCain/ Palin yard signs were stolen by cowardly slime balls in the dark of night. Assuming these cowards can read, they should know that taking a sign out front is a little dangerous but coming into my front yard and taking a sign off the front of the house is extremely dangerous for them.

"…a proven professional in finance…"
Editor: It's the Economy Stupid! What we don't need now on our city council is an amateur, who doesn't know how to read a balance sheet or analyze a budget. In times of economic uncertainty we need Cheryl Kinsman, a proven professional in finance who can keep Laguna Beach solvent during this period when federal and state funds are being cut. Full Story
"Peace" now
Editor: At the site of Laguna Beach American Legion hall is mounted a WWII Japanese cannon. Kalos Kagathos Foundation has proposed to the City Council an alternative sculpture dedicated to "Peace". Full Story
"a slap in the face to…women's rights"
Editor: I didn't think it was worth the energy and thought to write this letter until I met a neighbor on her morning walk. Full Story
Palin Purity
Editor: Hey T.C. Borelli [letter 9/19] - I understand your concern. The thought of Sarah Palin possibly becoming Vice- President must be frightening to your sensibilities. Full Story
Looking back at a look forward
Ed. Note: The following letter arrived after deadline last week. Editor: Democratic Senator Joe Biden of Delaware has been in the United States Senate for thirty-six years with significant experience in foreign affairs. Full Story
The family unit - strength and stability of any nation
Editor: Why should marriage be only for a man and a woman? Because gays and lesbians cannot have babies. Therefore, their union cannot produce the family unit, which is the strength and stability of any nation. Gays and lesbians should have the right to their relationships and to call them civil unions or anything they want. Full Story
The purpose of life
Editor: Financial collapse may have lowered testosterone levels on Wall Street but fear not, Uncle Sam is flying in emergency relief supplies from the Strategic Viagra Reserve. Remember, bad times are only a means to an end. Full Story
The sky is not falling
Editor: The economy cycles up and down, but we are being led to believe the sky is falling right now. The sky is not falling. When you read these next comparison do not think I am bashing Clinton. I am not. They are just to illustrate the ups and downs of a free society. Full Story
Something is wrong
Editor: Financial Speculators were the prime cause of the 1929 economic collapse and the resultant Great Depression of the 1930's and 40's. It took a terrible war to get us back on the road to prosperity in the 1950's. History is repeating itself today before our eyes, and I wish I were optimistic about our federal government's $700 billion bail out of Wall Street. Full Story
Setting Sawdust history straight
Ed. Note: This letter refers to the Laguna Home Companion of June 20. That content was generated by others and published in good faith by this paper. Editor: The true Sawdust History, condensed… I need to correct the Sawdust history (6/20/08 Independent) to protect my name. Full Story
Trusting our money
Editor: With the way our economy is going, I see irony and futility in the words "In God We Trust" on our money. Surely God deserves better than that. Niko Theris Laguna Beach Full Story
A letter to Campbell
Dear Congressman Campbell: Hooray for the house, which defeated Sec. Paulson's fearmongering 3-page proposal for $700B to do with as he pleases. I see your name in the "ayes" column on the house web site, but here's your chance to redeem yourself to the voters and taxpayers. Full Story
