But the voters have spoken, and I wish both Natalie Zeleznikar and Roger Skraba well as they join the Legislature on January 3rd.

The moral imperative to tell the truth has been glibly tossed aside and we now exist in a sorry state I’ve been calling the Blabo- sphere. The construction of the Blab-o-sphere has been many decades in the making, dating back to the 1990s in this latest iteration. That’s back when the talking heads beholden to what is formerly known as the Republican party and people like the Koch brothers started bending the rules of the First Amendment to fit their cockeyed political and social beliefs and herd the thoughts of the innocents into the world of conservative doublespeak. Don’t think that a recent former president had anything to do with it. Nope, that guy simply latched on to the dark movement of thought herding and exaggeration for monetary and political gain, something that he’d been doing his whole life anyway.

I both applaud and object to Rob Perez’s plea against Christmas music (see last week’s Lake County Press). In my view, the one of the very best things about Christmas is the music,but not the music he is talking about. Yes, shopping music is obnoxious and irritating, and hearing about Santa getting run over by a reindeer over and over is the best way to kill it.
Letters to the editor
Letters to the editor, columns, and cartoons are the opinions of the contributors and not necessarily the Lake County Press.

Anonymous submissions or letters of questionable credibility will not be published or acknowledged. The Lake County Press also asks that letters be no longer than 350 words; however, at the editor’s discretion, longer submissions may be published occasionally. All letters are subject to editing for length, clarity, and libelous content. Letters can be submitted to editor@lakecountypress.news.

In my grandmother’s unique handwriting is a history of part of my family dating back to 1780 Sweden. Believe me, there are plenty of Olof ’s and Ivar’s and Helvine’s, with a fair number of Anna’s, which was grandma’s name. Yes, there were Ole’s and Otto’s and Thora’s as well, with a smattering of Hans’s and Olava’s found in the old days.

Most people have heard of Louis Pasteur and “Germ Theory,” the long studied and accepted hypothesis that micro-organisms, germs, infect our bodies and make us sick. Science is always unfolding, and questions around the importance of the environment in our bodies that hosts germs have given rise to “Terrain Theory,” the idea that the environment in our bodies including our antibodies, the “microbiome,” is also important in determining whether, and how badly, we get sick.
