To the Editor:
In response to "Hopkinton Defense" which appeared in the July 18-24 issue of North Country This Week: If I was wrong in writing "Hopkinton Has Eerie Deathly Look" which ran in the July 4 edition of NCTW or am wrong in any other way, the honorable thing for you to do is tell me in a kind and loving way what my sins are so we can resolve them and get on with the problem.
About your suggestion that I work on my own piece of the North Country: What more do you want me to do on my organic farm? I use none of those toxic chemicals and yet EcoWatch reports that 75 percent of air and rainwater is contaminated with glyphosate (the active ingredient in Roundup).
If I want to have a healthy, chemical-free farm with live bees on it shouldn't I be allowed to do that without chemicals drifting in on the wind and rain?
If I want to regain my health and raise a healthy family, and not die like my grandpa died (I never met him; he was a custom spray operator and he died when mom was a teenager), shouldn't I be allowed to do that without my respectable friends insinuating that I am a stone-throwing sinner?
If I don't speak out against the outrageous practice of spraying poison on our children's food supply, will you? Please?
