Re: the article, “…to bind up the nation’s wounds” by JoAnn Van Tassel, Lake Orion Review, Jan. 13, 2021, page 5.

Well said JoAnn. I do wonder if it is the position as an elected ‘person’ that changes people. If there is something that happens when an anonymous group of people agree to hire someone and the employee becomes unaccountable?

It’s as if they dont realize that any individual they meet has a voice to be heard. We all know people who we can scratch our head and wonder how they ever got elected.

I haven’t spoken to you in years but you seem to have mellowed through time and I wish you well.

I read JoAnn Van Tassel’s letter in the January 13 Review in which she calls for a “truce” in the “War of Words that has divided the nation.”

I couldn’t help but notice that she referred to (President Donald J.) Trump as “duly-elected president” but only referred to (President Joe) Biden as “president-elect.”

If she is serious about wanting the “nonsense to stop” I suggest she do more to repudiate Trump’s Big Lie that he won the 2020 election in a “landslide.”

This lie is the largest cause of division right now and anyone serious about unifying the country must loudly and frequently denounce it and those who spread it.
