Is the quality of Montana’s environment getting better or worse? The answer, of course, depends on whose environment we are talking about and how we measure change.

With unemployment at 7.3 percent in Montana, thousands of workers wonder how their families will survive. Many Montana employers have closed their doors, and others are still struggling to attract business.

After reading Kristi Allen-Gailushas’ opinion piece (QCN, Aug. 11, 2010), I encourage the Helena School District to continue discussing adaptation of the health curriculum as it is needed in all Montana schools. I agree with Allen-Gailushas that the “talk” should be between parent and child; however, sadly, that is not happening as she would like it to happen.

America is less and less known as a land of equality, largely because our democratic system no longer promotes “the welfare of the greatest possible number.”

Steve Daines’ opinion piece (QCN, Aug. 25, 2010) sounds like a kickoff to a campaign for office down the road. In fact, I have heard some talk that he may be thinking about a run for governor in 2012. I am sure we all appreciate the good jobs Daines’ business contributes to our economy. No question there.

There's been a lot of yak lately about train noise and other noises. Where I live, near the Capitol, the train's horns add to the aesthetic rather than detract from it. And the dogs, whether the one neighbor's pup chirping from loneliness, or the other's barking protests of a passing cat, or the further pair of wolf-crosses leading everyone in a chorus answering the fire siren, all are sounds of wholesome city life, in my opinion.

My kids have grown, so now I crusade for all kids, particularly those at risk. Crimes against children know no boundaries. Sexual exploitation, abduction, Internet crimes, bullying, racism, discrimination, drug abuse, and school violence occur at every socio-economic level and across all geographic borders.

I find it noteworthy that there were supposedly a lot of professionals consulted in the process of designing the proposed sex-ed curriculum and that quite a few “professionals” were also allowed ample time to formally address the school board expressing their support for it.

Did you know that only one-third of teen moms receive a high-school diploma?

To the Editor:
I recently saw an article on the Web that explained where the money is coming from for the new sexual-education standards being perpetrated on small children across the country. It is coming from the debt-ridden federal government, of course. Fifty million dollars is coming from the new health bill that is supposed to lower health costs. I guess the only real savings in the health care bill is going to be less care.
