The Stain on Farrah's Name

Mr. McMenaminuses, (Of course this is your "ghost-writer" name.)

After reading your "Junior High-ish" article on Farrah Fawcett (07/02/09), I was appalled by your treatment of this intelligent, kind, and caring icon of the 1970s.

In the late '70s, my wife's best friend was cousins with Farrah, thus enabling my wife the opportunity to speak with Miss Fawcett on the phone. She (my wife) said Farrah was very personable and did not rush the phone call. She also spoke to her then-husband, Lee Majors.

Farrah did not pick her cancer, yet you call it arousing! WTF?

Also, do we really need to know about your spooge on the ceiling?

Possibly after you pass away (of course you will never be famous), some writer old enough to use implements other than a crayon will choose not to dehumanize you.

Whoever did pen the "Opinion" column, keep your private, sick thoughts in your puny, disabled brain.

The Other Half of the Yoga Equation

The Source Issue 45 (Nov. 10) contained wonderful information about the forms of yoga offered in our vicinity. Most of the information covered pertained to the socially enjoyable forms of yoga enjoyed by the folks who use yoga mats and bendy posturing as they concentrate on improving their blissful breathing techniques. These physical forms of yoga are the beautiful compliments to the mental, mindful and meditative forms of yoga that balance the larger yoga (yogic) equation. Yoga is basically a non-denominational practice aimed at balancing the physical (body) existence with the meta-physical (mind) reality. The ensuing mind-body balance creates the union required for an increased "understanding" (consciousness) of the "living experience."

Walden's Corporate Servitude

In the time-honored American tradition of peaceful civil disobedience, I am proud to be one of eight Central Oregon citizens arrested on December 5 in Congressman Greg Walden's Bend office. At our January 26 trial we plan to present a compelling defense. This act of dissent follows years of futile attempts to encourage the Congressman to hold open, unscripted town meetings accessible to a majority of his constituents. The Congressman has grown so suspicious of impromptu encounters with ordinary citizens that on Saturday he required a Bend Police Department intervention that enabled him to enter the Water Project meeting at the Chamber of Commerce through the back door. (Greg, we are nonviolent people who believe that democracy thrives on open dialogue and transparency; there is no reason to avoid us.)

Doors of Equality Swing Both Ways

I had to respond to "What's Wrong with Siri," (News, 1-4) since Apple's Siri isn't the problem. Three hours before I read, "What's wrong with Siri," I went to a store in town and complimented the cashier that this was the nicest "dollar" store I had ever been in.
