In response to the snowbiz column “A return to Brokeback Mountain” in the Florida Agenda, October 13, 2011.
DEAR EDITOR,
I so loved that movie… It soaked into my soul. I loved Jake, I loved Heath and their acting was excellent. I have so hoped a BBM#2 would have been made. I’m sure a great script could have been written.
Thank you for not forgetting the movie… It lives in people’s hearts and souls.
Sincerely,
Susan Briggs
In response to the Opinion “Why Give Obama a Second Chance?” in the Florida Agenda, September 22, 2011.
DEAR EDITOR,
I just finished reading David Stack’s piece. It was honestly awesome to read. It was well thought out and very well stated. I agree with 99.99% of it. We do need to get back to fundamentals and to me that means first, foremost and number 1 – getting rid of the Federal Reserve (we can print and fund our own money – we don’t need to borrow from them only to have to pay them back double for it!), we need to make corporate lobbying illegal and to any politician that takes that money – punishable by death!
We need all our regulations back and then some. We truly need to get lawyers out of politics and all laws need to be applicable to all or no one and easily understood by all! I agree there isn’t a republican out there that will get this job done for us, but I just don’t believe Barack Obama will either, I just don’t. The guy that can get that done for us is the guy I want to elect in! I hate having to elect “the lesser of two evils!” A previous comment stated. “Stack’s piece paints the broader picture that it is not just about our disappointment but about what will happen if he loses this election to Romney or Perry.” Barack Obama will only be the lesser of two evils!
Sincerely
James S Capone
I had opened a gay bar in 1963 on 441 called the Wine N Stein.T keep the straights out,I turned into a private club and within one month had over 250 members. I charged $1.00 per membership. I would be glad to help Fred Frejes accumulate facts about gay bars at the time.
We had free Sunday brunches, and the dance craze was the Hulley Gulley, which everyone did as, I allowed dancing in the bar.We had a couple of incidences from some straights, that made the papers at the time.Including one my doormen getting stabbed, fortunately he recovered.If he would like to contact me I would be glad to let him know the history of the place.
