I'm thankful for agriculture

It's Thanksgiving, and you and your whole family are sitting around the dinner table. You have enjoyed each other's company and are about to dive into the grand turkey that's been prepared. You can see the steam coming off, and the smell entices your mouth.

Our View: Mmm, mmm gobble gobble

OK, OK, so all most of us could think about this week was kickin' it on the couch with a drumstick in one hand and a beer in the other.

Next Thursday we'll flip on the tube, see some giant balloons float down 5th Avenue, watch the Cowboys and the Lions knock heads on the gridiron and mingle with relatives with whom you rarely speak.

Stephens inaccurately gives thanks to U.S. government

I enjoy reading M. Alex Stephens' articles. They are well written and entertaining. But I disagree with his view that the huge federal government is "necessary," as stated in his editorial titled, "A thank you to the government."

The federal government may have the best intentions, and citizens appreciate these intentions, but in reality the federal government does not achieve what it sets out to do, but instead creates unintended consequences, waste and inefficiency.
