Talk about having no clue as to what you're talking about. Carole Estabrook's June 23 column fits exactly into that category. What makes her an expert on how social programs work and why people are unemployed? Unless she, at one time or another, has been personally involved in either, she's not qualified to act like she's got the right answers.

A 44-year-old woman in a New York City Psychiatric Hospital fell to the floor having seizures. She was ignored by staff for 45 minutes. When they checked her, she was dead. The hospital tried to cover it up by falsifying records, to say she was up walking, when she was dead.

I am a senior citizen lady who lives on Owasco Lake. Late last summer I had the experience of having my boat break down when I was a long way from home. I put up my orange flag and waved it for a long time. Boats going by ignored me completely. I even used my emergency boat horn (in an aerosol can) to attract attention and no one came to my aid. I finally called the Sheriff and two wonderful young men came within a short time to help me. They towed my boat home and made sure I had a warm coat to cover me as it was quickly approaching dark. I felt very guilty when one of the men told me he was missing his son's third birthday party to help me out but they assured me it was all right.

Of course, they don't bother to mention that high-temperature grilling that kills the bugs also forms cancer-causing compounds.

You know folks, I am so sick of what they put in the paper any more. Look how they took this boy that has problems and put him to go to war. I can't believe it. The sound of a gun could make him go crazy. Why don't they think twice about a child in that condition. It makes me go crazy.
