A LIFE-CHANGING LOSS
Dear Editor,
Re: “Barrera Death a Great Loss” [News, Jan.
6]: I knew Esme Barrera when she worked at
Waterloo Records and I worked at BookPeople.
Anytime her smiling face came in the door, it was
like Christmas. Her murder (the hardest words I
have ever typed) leaves everyone that knew her
with an enormous hole that won’t ever be filled.
No one laughed louder, smiled brighter, or rocked
harder. No one.
Thanks,
Dan Nugent

If I’m a doctor and witness a child choking,
why provide CPR when it might cost me bazillions
of dollars if it gets messy? I am only one entity
among many and have no leadership role or
moral obligation to help.
Some are determined to see the world à la
John Lennon – as it could be – and thus win
admiration through rhetorical devices. Ron Paul
refuses to look at the world at all. Who cares?
Why concern ourselves with tyrants seeking
nuclear weapons? If a nuclear bomb goes off,
we’ll know it! Only then can we respond; only
afterward have we recourse to moral defense.
Great leaders, however, see the world as it is –
but only so they might wrench the present a little
closer to its highest future potential. Ignoring
reality leads neither to peace nor greater under-
standing, while succumbing to nihilism abdicates
humankind’s responsibility to strive for its high-
est potential.
On Chamberlain’s historic decision to appease
Germany, Churchill prophetically remarked, “You
were given the choice between war and dishonor. HHHIIISSSTTTOOORRRYYY... PPPEEERRRFFFOOORRRMMMEEEDDD NNNIIIGGGHHHTTTLLLYYY...
You chose dishonor, and you will have war.”
Ron Paul’s foreign policy is morally bankrupt.
A little less bravado would be welcomed, but COMEDY FILM SERIES
flatly denying all relational obligations is selfish,
dangerous and dishonorable. Isolationism’s total JANUARY 22-27
self-centeredness is disgraceful, and no mat-
ter Paul’s other admirable qualities, the moral
ambivalence of his foreign policy disqualifies him
to lead the greatest force for good the world has
ever known.
Sticking one’s head in the sand will definitely
prevent sunburn, but how pretty will fair skin look
on a suffocated corpse?
