While the outcome of the Iraq War and whether global warming is fact or fiction remain to be seen, there is one thing that is entirely predictable: if anyone condemns the Bush Administration in the Village News “Opinions,” he must expect to be scorned, if not burned at the stake. Mr. Hahn lived up to my expectations [“I say Wright is wrong,” 8/16/07]. The surprise is that I agree with his opinion regarding the global warming Live Earth concerts. However, I do question a few of his other ideas. I wonder why a resident of beau...
If you want to know what people in Fallbrook are thinking, you read the letters to the editor of the Village News. Because Fallbrook has so many skilled writers, I anticipate the arrival of the Village News every Thursday. The August 9 edition was perhaps the best collection of letters ever. Jack Ragland’s letter, “Everyone should say ‘NO!’ to proposed Liberty Quarry,” proves that our most eminent local artist is a skilled writer also. His painting of the Santa Margarita Ecological Reserve articulates a deep spiritual...
If you’ve been watching the financial markets lately, you may have noticed that the Federal Government has been giving out more corporate welfare dollars. $10 billion here, $10 billion there; pretty soon it adds up to real money – over $60 billion in the last two weeks were pumped into the market to support collapsing hedge funds and mortgage-backed bonds held by investment companies. (Wish the government would help me out with healthcare costs.) God forbid that the government should help the poor or middle class, but if cor... Full story

See that trash can just two feet away. Don’t drop it to fall where it may. Be thoughtful, responsible, a sensible citizen, Take that extra step – dispose the right way. Jacki...
For those who don’t know this, the actual wording in the official autopsy of Pat Tillman was that he “suffered three bullets to the head at close range.” That is certainly different than the first story the US Army released, and it sure sounds different than their second explanation that he was “killed in action by friendly fire.” Notice that the traditional press and TV news does not carry these details, probably because the administration has advised them that if they dwell on this, they will not have future access for more...
Dear parents, Summerhill Lane is a “private road” that is maintained by all the residents who live on this street. The county does not maintain it; we have to pay for this road to be resurfaced and maintained. This street is private; it is not open for public use at any time, which also includes parking for football games, high school graduation and night school. What you are doing is considered trespassing on private property. Your children’s safety should be your main concern. By dropping your child off on this side of th...
