Controversial issues:
As a community we need to be able to talk openly about matters that affect the quality of our lives. The most effective and least offensive manner to get your point across is to stick to the issue and refrain from commenting on another person's opinion. Letters that deviate from focusing on the issue may be rejected or edited and marked as such.

Bring Abe to Lincoln          Send a link to a friend

To the editor:

The city of Lincoln needs to bring Abe back to his home and office, which was the Postville Courthouse. Springfield should not get anything else of Lincoln likeness. Lincoln was the first city to be named after Lincoln. Tell me if you can: Where else is the likeness of Abe in Lincoln, besides LCC, Postville Courthouse? Then you have the watermelon at the old train station.

If Lincoln does get Abe, then make sure that you have signs saying, "Climb at your risk, blah, blah, blah"; or put a fence around Abe and his wagon. That way attorney Bill Bates can sleep at night, instead of getting invitations to sue the city of Lincoln or defending Lincoln itself.

Thanks.
