Letter to the Editor: Easter is a counterfeit

To the Editor:
This year the greater part of the population of the world will celebrate Easter, the day after the celebration of Passover. It is rare for the two celebrations to be so close together. Sometimes they are as much as a month apart.
So what is the difference? Easter dates back as far as Babylon. Perhaps you remember hearing of the Tower of Babylon dated back to Genesis eleven where Yahweh came down from heaven and confused a lot of people with different languages.

Letter to the Editor: Am I the only one who wants to know?

To the Editor:
How can a man who has been legally dead start receiving mail again? I have not had mail for Dale since he passed away (March 2011) until this past fall and now all of a sudden he is getting letters from both political parties and from every senior program you can name. Places are even urging him to sign petitions to save Social Security. And even a few phone calls have asked for “Mister...” and then they stumble over the last name.
I have returned a lot of these letters with “Deceased” printed across the top, but they still keep coming. I have now decided to save my ink and stamp and just put those letters in the recycle bin. Perhaps it will save a tree if it is recycled.
I pray he doesn’t vote on any issues, don’t you?
Another question: how can you register your phone so you will not receive these harassing phone calls, especially on Sunday, and still have them call you?
