On Long Island in the 1950s, our large family had one car and went to Jones Beach every summer. My father, aunt and three uncles served in the war, and families with lost sons lived among us. We knew the meaning of bravery and sacrifice, and we voted with the best interests of our country at heart. Today, we seem to have forgotten what “the common good” means. I want our country to return to a time of trust in our neighbors, good-paying union jobs, and a belief in doing what’s right for everyone, especially working families, the backbone of ...

In response to the letter written by George Lynch, “A Gratuitous Swipe” [Letters, April 25], where Mr. Lynch accuses me of being irrational, misleading, and calling my points “unsupported allegations,” I feel compelled to defend my positions.

This stinks for my friends, because when grown kids come back, they revert to teenagers. Even the most capable adult children — those with 401Ks and car insurance — backslide. Once home, these “grownups” leave their half-empty cups on every flat ...

As a longtime opponent of the wind turbine project offshore of Montauk, I appreciated the letter from R. George Arnold on April 4 [“Scary Things”]. I’m happy to join his “merry little band of citizens with common sense.” Building a major wind farm along the spectacular migratory freeway, the Atlantic Flyway, where we are blessed to live, is heartbreaking, shortsighted and disastrous for birds. We not only depend on pollinators for our global food supply but on birds, which consume massive numbers of insects that eat our crops. The 3 billion bird decline since 1970 documented in the journal Science ...
