Dear Editor: When September 11th starts our hearts are full of sorrow. The Americans shall never forget September 11, 2001, the blackest day of this soil.

Dear Editor: I’ve never been a big fan of privatization but in this day and age, considering soaring costs, it is an issue that might need to be revisited.
