Letter: Questions to ponder

By Linda Weirather, Vancouver

Time at home for deep thoughts, deeper questions: Do I have to chop onion for another casserole? Will businesses survive? Will they ever get out of debt? Will those without jobs? Will The Columbian survive? What does the Constitution mean by “promote the general Welfare”? What’s the meaning of that word today? How do we balance health and wealth? Is it pro-life to want healthy neighbors? Who is my neighbor? Is it pro-life to wear a mask? How should I feel about those who put me at risk? What’s the difference between “authority” and “authoritarian?” Why do some who admire authoritarians dislike authorities who have dedicated their various talents to all the human endeavors? Couldn’t Northwest billionaires fund experts from the CDC for a new agency to be great again? How do we “insure the domestic tranquility” when some show guns to emphasize how they want all this to go? Thanks to those who provide safe senior shopping hours and those who grow and process the abundance. Time to chop that onion and cry.
