There must be a contagious case of winter blahs resulting from
months of gray sunless days that makes one feel like a
hibernating squirrel. The debate about Harry Potter books in the
newspapers has gone on almost as long as it took to determine
who would be our new president. It seems to eclipse the status of
the local economy, so perhaps its good we have St. Patrick's
festivities to look forward to. Or maybe it's a ploy to accelerate
book reading, so we can all become critics.
During these dull months, perhaps we need a gossip hotline, so
people have more to talk about. Tastes in reading material
certainly do vary. Through the ages even the Bible has been
hotly debated. Sometimes non-fiction historical writing is tinged
with some questionable statements by an author. Whether in
written or spoken form, statements can reflect a personal spin.
To complicate matters, new words or meanings are constantly
being accepted. We now know that when someone doesn't tell
the truth, that person isn’t lying; he or she has made "misleading"
statements. I always did like fairy-tales as well as bibliographies
of famous people. It will be difficult to categorize the million
dollar memoirs of the recently departed first persons, now calling
themselves New Yorkers
If the New York senator makes a run for the presidency in four
years, is her spouse going to settle with the title of "first
husband"? Perhaps with all his experience, she will want him to
be her personal press secretary to guard against staff leaks,
dazzle the press or to find missing FBI files. Their latest "gomg-
out-of-the-oval-office" motto could perhaps read - -"ask not what
has been done to the country; it’s what our countrymen give to
us."
As to influencing children from books read, I think most
children acquire common sense and moral values from their
parents. In this modem world of trash movies and violent TV
programs, there’s a flood of exposure to different kinds of
unacceptable behavior. Even the comic books are filled with
mayhem. All this violence seems to have desensitized the public
who support that type of so-called entertainment..
Adults often fail to exemplify appropriate standards; for
example, the childish acts by former White House staff members
of trashing property in Capitol buildings. Graffiti by teenagers
pales in the face of adults destroying public property. Those
former government employees should be prosecuted and their
fingers bonded together behind their backs with contact glue.
When our own children were growing up, they didn't try to
emulate the adventures of Mark Twain, in spite of trying to
outwit parental authority. They shivered with delight or hid
behind a chair when viewing the wicked witch's actions in The
Wizard of Oz. Or they shrunk down in their seats while watching
a Frankenstein movie. From that exposure, they didn't turn out to
be axe murderers, gun-toting gangsters or join a cult.
Although most of us would like to read unbiased publications,
there's never been censorship on the press. One of the most
damaging literary accomplishments (especially in newspapers) is
succeeding to indoctrinate the public with unscientific
statements, widely published as facts, about environmental
issues. A local example is the impact from the Washington
ground squirrel habitat that negates a road or use of those

resources. The entire Western region's economy depends on
policies that take all factors into consideration as our growing
population competes for space, water and energy. The so-called
energy crisis, ranging from fuel to electricity, has been brought
about not only by greed, but also by government regulations.
Specifically, the Endangered Species Act has hampered the
building of new power plants or oil exploration and the public
has been conditioned to shun nuclear energy. These days we
don't hear much about destroying dams from the "greenies."
Surely the new administration will encourage development of
more methane, ethanol or generating plants, without tying up the
process in layers of red tape that take years for compliance.
In the meantime we can all be less wasteful; not necessarily by
buying more energy efficient appliances or cars. As a youngster
I'd ride my horse the short distance to the chicken house to
gather eggs. Now I often drive a vehicle the short distance to the
bam for chores, when in my heart I know that walking conserves
fuel and is good for the body and soul. Too, I know that sitting at
this computer adds to a sedentary lifestyle- -so much for
necessary exercise while good books (depending on one's
opinion) are begging to be read. The rest of time I just "Potter"
