Traits that describe a narcissist
Some people are saying that people in the USA are being ruled by a despot, a hater, an ignorer of laws, a cheater at business and a liar — all criteria that describe a narcissist. Psychiatrists, writing for the New York Times, have diagnosed Donald Trump with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. People with NPD may appear […]

Greenwood not the place for wind towers
For years, I have considered myself to be pro-environment. Yet, I am now in strong opposition to commercial wind towers. Greenwood is a proposed CWT site, with 17 towers, each 600 feet tall. Electricity generated would be sold to Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. It is not for Maine. I oppose CWT because Western Maine […]

U.S. showing lack of compassion
I am saddened and disheartened after reading the front-page article (“Pain, despair in Somali community,” Jan. 31) about Somali community members who are devastated by President Donald Trump’s despicable travel ban on refugees from seven predominately Muslim countries. How can people read that article and not empathize with the plight of these residents and refugees? Family […]

Let President Trump do his job
When I read the letter to the editor from Mary Jane Newell of Oxford (Jan. 24), I knew there’d be some backlash. Sure enough, Kevin Kimble from Lisbon responded with some sarcasm (Jan. 28), but also with great wit. He has my respect, and I thank him for his service. However, while Newell may have […]

Wholesale ban on those of one particular religion? No. Act presidential? Please, yes. Daily state lies and create illegal, racist executive orders? Absolutely no. Concerned citizens must get involved. […]
