What's on Your Mind? Our Opinion Panel weighs in on the issues of the day

Americans are appalled that a few IRS zealots targeted people for audits/scrutiny based on their political beliefs, mostly Tea Party leaders. While I don't condone politically-based IRS audits, some perspective is required.

Letter: Even good drivers need to buckle up

If you think that you don't need to buckle your safety belt because you're a good driver, remember that you're likely sharing the road with bad drivers, who cause crashes when you least expect it. Once a crash occurs, it's too late to buckle up.

Allow me a few words to publicly express my deepest appreciation and gratitude for her faithful service.
