Comment on: Lynchâs 2010 healthcare vote at issue in current campaign - Metro - The Boston Globe
No legislation is perfect, but for the greater goal, Lynch should have supported it . . . and found ways to bring revisions/improvements later. All other things being equal, this makes me lean toward more »

Comment on: Gray seal pup has to be rescued from admirersâ attention - Metro - The Boston Globe
I hope its mother is ok. What a shame that she'll probably grieve for her pup's loss . . . likely unaware that her pup was taken away because of human actions. I know that people were concerned for t more »

Comment on: Moms, supporters rally at State House for gun control - Metro - The Boston Globe
I didn't know that this rally for gun control was occuring in Boston. I would have attended it. I fully support a ban on assault weapons, they have no justifiable role in civilian-based situations. I more »

Comment on: Clinton to face Congress on Libya assault - Nation - The Boston Globe
