LETTER: Ruggs plea deal a slap on the wrist

In regard to the Henry Ruggs plea agreement:

There is something wrong with our judicial system. There seems to be a system for the unknown poor and another for the wealthy celebrity.

This man deliberately got drunk, committed several felonies and, if that was not enough, killed a beautiful young woman and her dog. For all this he receives a light sentence of as little as three years. (A little more than a reprimand). There is something wrong here. If this was not so tragic it could be construed as a joke.

LETTER: Sonia Sotomayor, retirement and race

Using race to justify or condemn the action of others is simply wrong and, some would say, the definition of racism. We are all one people.
