LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

politicians are spending, or should I say wasting?

Most leaders or politicians fall from grace, are voted out, have the mat pulled out from under them, are back-stabbed or resign when cornered, with very few stepping down gracefully. Most think they are gods because they have wealth, power and control over others while they reign.

I say what we need is leaders who are in touch with the people, sensibly spending problem-solvers, and that borrowing is for fools, as it increases debt. Many things are human wants, not needs.

The Bible tells us to be weary of those who get around in their flash clothes and robes and take the best seats at the banquets. In fact Jesus Christ refers to them as snakes and vipers, as well as wolves in lamb’s clothing, always ready to attack or take advantage of others who can least defend themselves.

Sounds like today’s world with what is taking place, wars, violence, homelessness, poverty, debt, health, education, unemployment, and much more.

I say, where is the true leadership? It is not local or central government, or even religion, as they do not offer hope, love, faith, a loving, caring society, where all are equal no matter what race we are or age or health problems etc.

I say leadership is this world’s greatest problem facing mankind as the people have sold their souls to the devil.

Far North ratepayers, do not be surprised when you will need to front up with a million dollars for a bronze statue for Sir John Carter, as this is the pagan world we live in. thought the story that beginner students at schools were ‘swiping’ their paper books rather than turning the pages was a rather amusing April Fool’s joke, but it was actually a fact.

The members of the National Union of Teachers (UK) have reported that this is now a common event.

Apparently it’s a result of the overuse of iPads as a child-minding device and the cost of paper books.

As a child I was always happy to read a book, and still do almost 60 years later, although I read most newspapers online.

Books rarely run out of power; they are ready the moment you pick them up and there are no ads at the bottom of the page.

Print this letter out on paper and show your child how to physically read it.
