EDITOR,

I have read Jon Mendelson’s columns for a while now and usually do not agree with his youthful political naïveté. About water management, though (“Scary Senate bill has water grab aura,” Oct. 31), I wholeheartedly agree with him.

Enough, enough with extreme environmentalism destroying our nation, the beacon of international leadership. Are we so stupid as to believe we are doing any good by making a spectacle of destroying ourselves?

Above all else we have to eat, and leaving food production to today’s political ethics seems a little scary to me.

About politics, here’s the deal: You can’t have Big Banks without Big Business, and you can’t have Big Business without small businesses, and you can’t have small businesses without reward of ownership. What reward is there in the degradation of today’s economics?

Government has tried to fix everything and everyone, but not our beloved nation’s foundational economics. Forget business headaches, I’m taking what little money I have left and investing it in the companies who supply printing presses to the government. Can you help me with a few of those addresses?
