Dear editor, Short of a disease, what brain surgeons cut the trees on Scenic south of the Scenic/Linda Mesa Way intersection?

Dear editor, I am very concerned that a proposal to allow horse-drawn carriages on Napa’s streets is being considered. In New York City last year, a horse pulling a carriage was spooked by a street performer, crashed into a tree and died. Unfortunately, accidents with horse-drawn carriages happen periodically with the horse being the big loser.

Dear editor, The framers of the Second Amendment carefully circumscribed the right to bear arms within the controls and supervisory oversight of “a well-regulated militia.” They devoted half of the amendment’s wording to this limitation. Their intent is clear from the inclusion of the words “well-regulated.” The right was not assigned to any casual group of individuals but reserved for militia members under discipline.

Dear editor, I would like to ask all of the folks whining and complaining about the Fourth of July parade to get up and do something about it. Volunteer. Offer to help. Do something. The complaining is far worse than the parade could have ever been.
