To the Editor:
Referring to The Land Assistant Editor Tom Royer’s Dec. 11 opinion, “That’s what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown,” the special day Christmas is Christ’s birthday, therefore “Merry Christmas.” I do not boycott stores but those who do have a right. We always have a “Christ’s birthday cake.” Do you?
Christmas is the Christians’ special day. I was surprised to see a Christian, I assume, complaining about Christians at Christmastime. I’m wondering why a Christian writer would “take a wonderful season like Christmas and turn it into a problem,” to quote your Linus Van Pelt.
Sounds as if the column wants to silence Jesus’ followers and make them “politically correct.” I am unashamed of speaking for my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. By the way, Merry Christmas.

Letter: Juhnke passing false blame to pass proposal
Family farmers and rural residents need to know that Rep. Al Juhnke of Willmar is proposing legislation that will weaken environmental standards for the largest farms in our state. As a livestock farmer and registered nurse, that concerns me and I think it is wrong.

"You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong." However, we also must note that in order to encourage the weak you must give them a chance to have some opportunity to achieve a decent livelihood.

Letter: Scare tactics misrepresent ethanol’s impact
After watching the KSTP newscast on ethanol, I believe the newscasters seem to have torn a page from Orson Welles’ recipe on how to boost their audience numbers.

Letter: The rest of the organic, beef labeling story
Unlike the label “organic” — which requires you to be certified — the perception of what is “natural” has definitely been highjacked and is a totally misused and maligned at the meat counter.

Letter: Health care questions for Walz
Would you explain just how the bill saves money on health care when you add 50 million to the number to be taken care of. Do you ration the use of tests or procedures, expensive drugs, etc.?
