I am a summer resident of Maine. I am appalled by the tone of bigotry and narrow-mindedness that is present in many of the Sun Journal’s published letters to the editor.

I don’t see the federal, state and local governments as the incarnation of evil.

Perhaps the time has come to work together and to look beyond polarized name calling.

Before anyone dismisses that idea as the product of someone who is an “away” person, give it some thought.
