Like him or not, Stewart a thought-provoking writer

TO THE EDITOR:

I noticed in the Sunday, Nov. 7 issue of the Standard that two letters were printed in opposition to Will Stewart’s last column. To mix things up a bit, I offer this view.

Regardless of whether the Standard’s readers agreed or disagreed with Mr. Stewart’s editorials, he represented opinions that are lacking throughout our newspaper. Mr. Stewart was willing to tackle social, economic and political subjects that prompted healthy debate.

After all, Warren County is not composed entirely of conservative Republicans. Among us are moderate Republicans, moderate Democrats, liberal Democrats, and yes, even a few souls who voted for Ralph Nader. Our variety makes America a great place to live.

In comparison to Mr. Stewart’s writings, our choices include editorials like Charles Johnson’s musings on the four seasons: lighthearted, tongue-in-cheek fare that may bring a smile to our faces over Sunday breakfast. But thought provoking? Not a chance. I will miss Will Stewart.
Sincerely,
