Wrong, hateful, untrue

Why this voter prefers the ‘No Labels’ option

As a voter, I’m not able to put my arms around either Joe Biden or Donald Trump.

Joe is just too old with a criminal son, and Trump is the prime example of how money and unethical lawyers can enable a person to get away with anything, including the attempted overthrow of our government.

Yes I will vote for the No Labels candidate, as I believe that neither Biden nor Trump has the welfare of the country in their DNA. I also maintain that Trump will beat it all and that says it all as to equal justice for all and the rule of law in this country.

Lately we have been hearing so much more hateful rhetoric criticizing people who identify as LGBTQ or transgender. The members of this small community are being accused of grooming and abusing children. That is wrong, hateful and far from the truth.

Statistics show that there are a shocking number of people in the transgender community who experience abuse, violence and discrimination on a regular basis. So why is so much cruel and hateful misinformation being spewed about this small group of people who are just trying to live their lives out in the open?

Could that be why — simply because they are more visible now? It’s the first time in history that gay and trans people have been able to live as themselves out in the open and some people are not happy about it, while others are just afraid of something they don’t understand.

A letter to the editor from Jay Margolis on the future implications of the new Black history curriculum, (“A war on woke with real life implications,” July 26) was unrealistic.

The new plaza on East Las Olas Boulevard in downtown Fort Lauderdale is nearing completion, a small but integral piece of land over the Henry Kinney Tunnel that, despite its size, will have a street running through it: SE 6th Ave.

The street was already there, of course, but I had assumed that the plaza would eliminate part of it.

That really is the definition of a plaza: a space free of traffic where people can congregate.

Fort Lauderdale has spent more than a year and millions of dollars to construct a plaza that will have cars passing through it.

I was puzzled when the ground floors of the riverfront condos filled with gyms and conference rooms instead of restaurants and cafes (like San Antonio), but that was a (mostly) missed opportunity beyond the city’s control.

This latest downtown development is a corruption of public space — new, planned, landscaped public space — that is beyond comprehension.
