To the Editor:
In response to Scott Gunther’s letter in the July 23 issue of the Bethel Citizen: He said, very clearly, what I would have loved to say, but he said it much better than I could have. All his points were accurate. He is right, we are not a democracy, we are a constitutional republic ( if we can keep it ). A real democracy is nothing more than mob rule, kind of like two wolves and one sheep deciding what’s for dinner. Well done, Scott.

Comments are not available on this story. Read more about why we allow commenting on some stories and not on others.
We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
