Letter from Bob Cross, George Sibley
Sibleys in History – March 2006 – Colorado Central Magazine
Ed:
I thoroughly enjoyed your treatment of Capt. Pike’s journey [in the February edition]. Thank you for reminding me about the Red River Expedition of 1805. The mention of Peter Custis reminded me that he was a distant relative of George Washington and Robert E. Lee.

Ed:
I’ve always thought that the Colorado Central library would tend toward the ecclectic. However, I must admit that I was surprised to learn (from Pat Williams’ letter in the October edition) that included in your library are pictures of the scat left lying around by the various critters that inhabit our forests.

Regarding George Sibley’s column in the October edition:
Labeling your feelings as “paranoia” is simply too self-deprecating. Let me suggest that your observations are more properly classified as the vigilance of true patriotism. Remember that in Federalist No. 10, Madison was arguing that representative government is the remedy for “the violence of faction.”

Martha:
Bravo! Honest and Open debate IS a cornerstone of our democracy and as citizens we are required to participate. If we rely on the pundits and the pollsters, we will never develop a national resolve to properly address the consequences of the fact that some people in the world hate us. It is my hope that this time around, the debate will focus on revealing the principles that are at cause rather than just become part of the rhetoric used to manipulate voters.
