Kathleen Parker writes that Osama bin Laden’s death felt anticlimactic and left a lingering sadness about humanity’s bloodlust. She notes repeated public celebration of executions, contrasts Bush era hangings with current justice, and urges tempered triumphalism and global caution rather than jubilant killing.
A reader criticizes government plans to cut Social Security and Medicare and calls for deficit cuts at the top, urging duty to taxpayers and budget restraint. The letter urges lawmakers to read it, weigh price controls, and reflects on Kansas’s one year of smoke free law with public health support and warnings against exemptions.
The author reflects on the National Day of Prayer and personal prayer habits. He contrasts sincere prayer with vanity and recounts how prayer figures in moral struggles, citing Osama bin Laden as an example of misused faith. The piece urges aligning with good, fighting seven deadly sins, and pursuing humility, generosity, and honest practice in prayer.
