Ebbert: Do we
really want to be an
Empire of the USA?
To the Editor:
The last time Ameri-
ca had a direct experi-
ence with an empire
it was as a colony and
controlled by an inex-
perienced and mentally
unstable monarch who
demanded an oath of
allegiance to himself
rather than the nation.
The monarch, King
George III of England,
changed prime min-
isters frequently until
he found a dependable
friend in Frederick
North who was alleg-
edly the worst prime
minister in British his-
tory. George was in-
volved in many military
rs①③④r⑤⑥ ⑦⑤ ⑤⑧⑨ ⑥⑦⑩⑨
time and placed his
nation deeply in debt.
Anyone in opposition
to his policies enraged
and embittered him. At
the end of the seven-
year war with France,
England was so deeply
in debt it passed the
Stamp Act and then the
tea duty, among others,
④① ⑦① ⑨❶s❷⑤ ⑤s ⑤⑦❸ ⑤⑧⑨
colonies and pay the
debt. This in turn led to
the American Revolu-
tion and our rejection
of the monarchy.
Is any of this begin-
ning to sound famil-
iar? The U.S. has pretty
much destroyed Iraq
and Syria; the war in Af-
ghanistan is the longest
war in our history; we
are supporting the de-
struction of Yemen by
providing arms to Saudi
Arabia; Venezuela is
being threatened with
military action unless
it accepts our choice of
a Venezuelan president;
and we have troops in
Africa for an undeclared
peace action.
I ask again, have we
become an empire, and
is this what we want? It is
time to return this nation
to one of respect for our
Constitution, the rights
of humanity and the ob-
servance of its laws.

McCracken: Natural
methods for vector
control make far
more sense
To the Editor:
Statistics listing the
leading causes of death
by age in America are
stunning. The second
and third most com-
mon causes between
ages 1 and 9 are con-
genital anomalies and
malignant neoplasms
(cancer). For those age
10 to 14, malignant neo-
plasms is the third most
common cause.
Studies now show
both congenital anom-
alies and malignant
neoplasms are closely
related to chemical ex-
posure, as are autism,
asthma, Alzheimer’s,
⑦⑤⑤⑨①⑤④s① ➆⑨➇r④⑤ ➆④⑥s❷ -
der, diabetes and others
(“Wide Range of Diseas-
es Linked to Pesticides,”
by Owens, Feldman,
Kepner). Voters must
rethink support for vec-
tor control, which deliv-
ers pesticides directly

ter and yards.
Michael
Skinner’s
studies
show
that

chemical exposure can
alter our DNA and that
these changes are evi-
dent three generations
later (“The Toxins That
➈❶⑨r⑤⑨➆
➉s➊❷
➋❷⑨⑦⑤➌
Grandparents Could Be
in Your Genes,” www.
Smithsonian.com).
Seat belts and gun
safety classes help re-
duce auto and gun
deaths. Implementing
behavior for avoiding
contact with mosquitoes
and ticks would lower
the incident of vector-
borne disease as well.
After the deadly unin-
tended consequences of
chemicals are factored
in, natural methods for
vector control make far
more sense.
Slick advertising has
us buying overpriced
dangerous chemicals
to keep mosquitoes
and ticks away. Each
year requires a greater
concentration or more
applications
since
mosquitoes constantly
evolve to stay alive and
breed.
Summer should be
throbbing with life. In-
sect buzz and bird song
and frog croaking are
all tied together. Insects
and their larvae are near
the bottom of summer’s
food chain and support
everything above them.
