Letter: Sadly, a grim horoscope

Published: 01-12-2025 4:00 PM

Planet-wide fire, flood, drought. Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan, Syria in shambles, Greenland, Panama, even Canada in a gunsight. Trump again, January 6 twice, the first, an insurrection, a “Day of Love,” the second, a peaceful transfer of power presided over by VP Harris; “drill, baby, drill,” “we have liquid gold under our feet,” the proclaimed reversal of an oil drill ban. Plastic abuse with forever consequence; another “unprecedented” severe weather pattern across the U.S. the week of January 5; gradual human-caused extinction of species and more fire, flood, draught.

Starvation, leading to human migration with resultant turmoil, til death do us part, our very own earned and deserved eventual extinction. New Hampshire state funding of public school education (rock bottom at #50). When will we ever learn (all of us, everywhere), about anything?
