Government can’t think for themselves To the editor: In regard to the story in the link below, I would like to post this letter. http://www.american- libertyreport.com/articles/ the-fisa-memo-what-we- know-so-far/ Those who have been working for the government for any extended period of time have never learned, or have forgotten, to think for themselves. Their job has always been a set template of what to do, when to do it, and never to question it, so when something new or different comes along they refer back to the template and if the question is not answered there, the ques- tion or situation must be either radical, irrelevant or wrong. We cannot expect lifer government employees to accept anything new that they have not been trained on, or anything that actually comes from the people they are supposed to serve. The sad thing is that these gov- ernment drones are teach- ing that same SOP to our youth, who can get a tem- porary (at least) entry level position at the government which pays twice what they can get in the private sector entry level. And so, the beat has gone on for the last 30+ years. Trump comes along and turns the template upside down and they hate him for the mes- sage he delivers from all of us working people. I can hear the piper coming down the street. Can you? Tim K. Smith Hines, OR Community lunch menu Nazarene volunteers will serve lunch on Wednesday, Feb. 7 at St. Patrick’s Senior Center.
