Column - Learning - a lifelong lesson
Years ago – too many years ago! – I used to sit in college classrooms and think to myself, “Gee, this lecture is so interesting. What a shame we have to be tested on it.”By Dennis Dalman , June 05, 2009
Column - When we begin to act, sound like our parents
Our parents warned us, but we didn’t listen. “Someday,” they’d say, wagging a finger, “You’re going to be just like us.” We’d laugh at such a preposterous notion.By Dennis Dalman , May 29, 2009
Column - Harmless actions can have deadly results
Inattention is killing us. The major cause of roadway deaths and injuries is now various forms of inattention.By Dennis Dalman , May 22, 2009
Column - List of characters should be required in novels
There ought to be a law – well, at least a “literary” law – that all novels must be published with a “List of Characters” at the very front of the book.By Dennis Dalman , May 15, 2009
Letter - Can't we all just try to get along?
I find the venomous exchanges on the Echo Press website amongst your readership to be appalling. Attack and insult seem to be the only bromides available.May 15, 2009
Column - Flu warnings worth it
Ever hear about the boy who cried, “Wolf!”? Well, what about the boy who cried, “Virus!”? Is the kid a fool? Will we listen? Should we care? We won’t know.By Dennis Dalman , May 08, 2009
Column – Interrogation or torture?
How would you feel if, while being forcibly drowned, the people doing it kept telling you they are using only “enhanced interrogation techniques?” That phrase is the innocuous “substitute” for torture, as used by members of the Bush Administration.By Dennis Dalman , May 01, 2009
Letter – More Kool-Aid
Many thanks to Jim Korkowski for taking time to write, “It doesn’t really matter, does it?” [April 29 letter to the editor.]May 01, 2009
Column – Singing into our hearts
It took a Scottish woman to teach the world never to judge a book – or a singer – by its cover.By Dennis Dalman , April 24, 2009
Column – Connecting the wrong dots
Right-wing extremism is on the rise, according to the Department of Homeland Security.By Dennis Dalman , April 17, 2009
Column – Don't ever watch movies with a stickler
Don’t ever watch a movie with a stickler. Sticklers are as bad as the know-it-alls – the ones who sit behind you in a movie theater and blurt out everything that’s about to happen because they’d seen the picture before.By Dennis Dalman , April 10, 2009
Column – Little tiny seedlings can bring big hopes
Who would ever think a little tiny seedling could cause a big nervous breakdown? By “little tiny” I mean almost microscopic – a seedling that resulted from several garlic-chive seeds I planted in early February.By Dennis Dalman , April 03, 2009
Letter – Sloppy thinking
Selecting the final few teams for the NCAA Basketball Tournament is always contentious. This year, Arizona squeezed in, leaving several other teams unhappy.April 01, 2009
Column – Wallowing robs energy
Many people these days who have been laid off or who cannot find a job must feel as if they’ve been kicked off the edge of the earth.By Dennis Dalman , March 27, 2009
