    Readers Write: What is Socialism?

    ByIdyllwild Town Crier August 22, 2018 Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Editor: Do you know what Socialism really means? Winston Churchill, years ago, wrote this about socialism: “Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” I can attest to that; I lived under Socialism in East Germany for 10 years….

    Readers Write: Fire breaks saved our cabin

    ByIdyllwild Town Crier August 22, 2018 Reading Time: 1 minute

    Editor: Maintained fire breaks saved our Westridge cabin. I am grateful to firefighters for maintaining fire breaks and flying retardant drops. A friend told me to read “Granite Mountain,” a story of the 2013 Yarnel Hill Fire near Prescott, Arizona. The book was written by the lone survivor of 20 Hot Shot firefighters. A 2017…

    Readers Write: Is our democracy over?

    ByIdyllwild Town Crier August 22, 2018August 22, 2018 Reading Time: 1 minute

    Editor: I appreciate your “Fake news, American institutions and the presidency” editorial. As the Republicans bring our democracy to its knees, it seems like we are fighting our Revolutionary War all over again; against (wanna be) King Trump and his klan. I’m sure many will “disagree” with me, but the tyranny is obvious. Those who…

    Readers Write: Angels and heroes among us

    ByIdyllwild Town Crier August 22, 2018 Reading Time: 1 minute

    Editor’s note: This letter was received before the Cranston Fire of July 25. It was temporarily lost in the scramble of evacuation. Editor: [July 18] was another idyllic day at my little cabin in Mountain Center, where one of my greatest joys is simply leaving cool water out back to see what birds and bunnies…

    Out Loud: Social media, fake news and your local newspaper

    ByJack Clark August 22, 2018 Reading Time: 3 minutes

    Editor’s note: I’m giving Jack a turn again this week. “Fake news” is taken to mean one thing at the national level, but something quite different at the local level. When any newspaper values its reputation, it does not report rumor as news. It uses reliable sources and it verifies them. A reliable news source…
