Comments from the petition

There has been quite a response to the petition so far. All those of you who have submitted entries have spoken well and eloquently and with many valuable viewpoints.

The comments here are listed in the order in which the website received the confirmation for them. They are presented in groups of ten per page.

Some respondents identified themselves within the comments section of the petition. I do not presume that if they wrote their names there it would be all right for me to display the names on these pages. So, then, I edited out the names. Other than that, the comment are unmodified.

If you look for your comment here and don't find it, that means that I never got your confirmation. If you didn't get the confirmation email—or the email got lost or deleted, email me (or use the webite contact form) to tell me. I will then email you the link you need to use to confirm your petition entry. Confirmation is quick and easy, and it really enhances the integrity of the whole process.

Heaven's sake, we certainly are in need of integrity!
