Not-so-progressive nightmares and the Buy Local survey

Deirdre Fulton's characterization of the nightmare unfolding in Augusta is accurate (" Progressive Nightmare ," March 18); her characterization of that as a "progressive" nightmare is not.

Population control, not insect eating

In her article " Eat Me! Delicious Insects Will Save Us All ," Deirdre Fulton writes that "bugs could be a solution to a host of emerging problems, including world hunger and environmental woes." It seems to me that adding a billion people every 13 yea

Sin tax

Among other things, your editorial calling for the Catholic Church to be punitively taxed for its anti-abortion lobbying suffers from a breathtaking lack of inconsistency.

I found it rather stupefying that the Phoenix proudly toted an interview with Shepard Fairey on the same front page it used to complain about artists getting the shaft by money-grubbing businesses.
