PEACE THROUGH PRAYER

Editors, Vineyard Gazette:

A vote for Sen. John McCain is a vote to give our nation an opportunity to rethink the abortion issue and to have a change of mind and heart. It is not easy in the political climate of the Vineyard today to say, “Vote for John McCain.” It is never easy to go against the mainstream. But in the name of democracy and in the spirit of tolerance, each voice needs to be given a chance to be heard.

GOOD DEAL

Editors, Vineyard Gazette:

To help quell the groans and moans about the “excessive” fares to and from Chappaquiddick, I wish to provide the following:

• In 1929 it cost a $1 for a round trip.

• Today, it costs $12.

Taking the $1 in 1929 and converting it to 2008 dollars, we would get $24.64. Thank you Peter Wells for helping fight inflation.
