Every column I write has my e-mail address in it for you to contact me personally. I do respond to most of you before I hit the delete button. Here are just a few lines from some of the letters in the mailbag that I thought were interesting enough to use today. If you care to send me your thoughts about anything I write about — or anything you see here now — please be nice. I ignore all that I think are not.
From Dr. Edwin: “Instead of calling it a Trump rally that Friday night, Donald should have invited all of Chicago to a ‘jobs fair’ — that way nobody would have come.”
That is a funny line, Doc, but right now Chicago, Miami, Philadelphia, New York, and many other major American cities are posting more ‘help wanted’ signs than there have been in a very long time. The problem is, few people are applying. Why work when one can do better with welfare, food banks, clothing giveaways, and food stamps. Whatever happened to pride?
From Millie: “In my heart, I am a lifelong Democrat, and I cannot cross over. I agree with you about Hillary the liar, and I can’t find it in my heart to vote for her. My vote will go to Sanders. Besides, I like his chicken.”

From Hyman: “Marco Rubio is the only loser that makes marvelous speeches after every loss as if he was the winner.”
Caitlin asks: “Why do I have to donate to the Republican party as it requested if I intend to vote for Donald Trump, who is financing his own campaign? I am voting for him, because he wants to build that wall. Hillary says that we should be breaking down barriers, not building walls.”
Sure, Ms. Clinton, let’s permit another million people to our southern border — and then support them. If more people want to come in, let them come in the legal way.
Val sent me the best bumper sticker she said she has seen in a year: “I’d rather have a gun in my hand than a cop on the phone.”
Hey Val. Where do I get one?
Geri found this on the Internet: “Democrats like Schumer, Reid, and Biden who have called for delays to the Supreme Court nomination process in the past should be called out for their hypocrisy.”
Dear Geri, I already have. I believe that the hearings should be held anyway. Then move on and vote against the candidate.
I Thank You for reading my columns and writing to me. Please keep writing and remember to be nice. President Reagan said that you can disagree without being disagreeable. Let the world know that StanG
