Critical Cry
I am offended by Stephen J. Lyon’s snide, hateful, self-righteous rant (“Open Mic,” Nov. 27) and I am disappointed that the Pacific Sun chose to publish it.
I believe it is true that we will have the best people in charge of our health and that is great news for our sick nation and our children’s future.
Thank goodness the EPA is now being forced to remove fluoride from our water, which has proven to lower children’s IQs.
It strikes me as ironic that he predicts a spike in grocery prices. Didn’t that already happen under the Biden-Harris Administration?
Then he plays the race card. Wow. “That damned woman of color” lost the election not because of her gender or her ethnicity but because she promised us four more years of censorship, reckless spending, a widening wealth gap and the threat of nuclear annihilation.

One of the fun aspects of the American mood disorder of the past 40 years or so is the rapid onset and expansion of public lying, disrespectful interactions and general trash talk by children disguised as responsible adults across the board.
And I don’t mean by just Donald Trump and his people, the true elite professionals.
Disrespect shows up in many forms and is often practiced by educated, entitled male individuals who live in our North Bay, not just by immigrants like me.
Guys, just until the end of the month, let’s see if we can notice ourselves saying and doing disrespectful things to our spouses, our children, our friends, our retail clerks, our police officers and women in general.
Let’s see if we can make it a habit.
Of course, for those public officials who openly invite ridicule, let them have it.
