Those who accept Darwin's evolution philosophy consider the great apes to be the closest relatives of homo sapiens. In actuality, our closest relatives are sheep. Even most people with graduate degrees will blindly follow propaganda. ...more

Everyone has an opinion why the big three automakers are almost bankrupt. To those who think factory workers are overpaid and take the corporate CEO side, you are way off base and wrong. Working class people in factories and other grunt jobs have always been the backbone of this country. Those jobs in the factory were not isolated or held for a chosen few. The only requirement was a high school education, which was often waived, and to pass a physical. ...more

Heads In The Sand I have talked to a few older residents in the area and they are not sure how to vote. They read the yes and no columns in this paper and hear the propaganda put out by the Spring Hill Fire Rescue District and read their signs all over town and are confused which way to vote. ...more

Regarding "Shake China's Hand, But Arm Taiwan" (Our Opinion, Aug. 12): In the editorial you used the term "reunite" when talking about China invading Taiwan. Imperial China deeded Taiwan to Japan in 1895 in a legal and binding treaty, the Treaty of Shimonoseki. Following World War II, the Japanese were removed from Taiwan as a condition of their defeat, but the legal retraction of ownership was not until 1952. During this time Taiwan was administered under United Nations jurisdiction by the ROC government; however, Taiwan was never returned/deeded back to the Chinese government but left in an independent state. ...more

SEBRING — Oct. 14, 1942, is a day Ted Biever Sr. remembers vividly. On that fateful day, Biever, a retired Air Force master sergeant, who served as a gunner on World War II aircraft, was shot down while conducting a mission over Germany. "To tell you the truth there was so much going on when we were shot down that I had no idea it was happening until we hit the ground," said Biever "I slept all night inside of a haystack," said Biever. "The following day I got up, and I was in the middle of Germany. I didn't speak the language, didn't have a compass and didn't have a map, so all I could do was hope to run into someone friendly on the ground." So, Biever, then 21, approached a group of farmers he thought looked friendly. "I was hoping they'd be friendly but they weren't," said Biever. "They took me into a village and threw me in this one-man jail until some German soldiers came and picked me up." Over the next 21 months, Biever was held captive by Nazi forces. ...more
