Dear
HCN,
Normally, when you read
the paper, you should have the feeling of becoming informed on
issues which affect us all. After reading the last few papers,
concerning the issues of the LDS church purchase and the gated
communities, I have to say these are not issues, but agenda items
of your reporters.
As much as we try to blame the
wealth of this country for our problems, we cannot escape the fact
that our real problem lies with idealism. In gated communities, I
do not see any environmental disasters, but a social problem, and
that is jealousy. If a person would like to attain wealth, you
should have the right to strive for it. If not, that is OK, too.
It’s called capitalism. To have a socialist or even communistic
view – what the reporters’ writings reflect – is OK, too. Just
recognize the difference.
