Grateful for Dolly<\/h2>\n

Re “Dolly Parton made my heart skip a beat. We’re lucky she’s still around to teach us,”<\/a> Oct. 8: Reading Amelia Robinson\u2019s column on Dolly Parton made my heart skip a beat. Dolly isn\u2019t just a singer \u2014 she\u2019s a national treasure who radiates kindness, generosity and authenticity.From her anthem in “9 to 5” \u2014 \u201cwhat a way to make a livin\u2019\u201d \u2014 to her decades of work uplifting everyday people, Dolly has always stood with those who feel unseen. In a time marked by division and noise, she reminds us of the quiet power of humility, joy and hope.We\u2019re fortunate she\u2019s still here \u2014 entertaining us, inspiring us and leading by example.Ray Watford, Hilliard<\/p>\n

A bar revolution<\/h2>\n

Re “What about my rights?”<\/a> Oct. 9: Letter writer Kim Moritz asserts, concerning the Second Amendment\u00a0to the Constitution, that it states,\u00a0in part, “…shall not be infringed.” Yes, it does.<\/p>\n

It also says, in preamble<\/a>, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms…”<\/p>\n

People who assert that originalism intent\u00a0should be applied\u00a0to interpreting\u00a0the Constitution\u00a0should consider the context\u00a0in which the wording was adopted. In this case, many interpreters\u00a0consider that the whole text needs to be considered, not just a snippet, in which those who are participating\u00a0in a well-regulated militia \u2014 which no longer\u00a0exists \u2014 are entitled to keep and bear arms.<\/p>\n

Somehow, I think that carrying firearms into bars does not constitute any form of necessity of securing\u00a0a free State, unless British or Hessian soldiers should suddenly appear and assert the revolution never occurred.<\/p>\n
