Wow. How disappointing. If the last ten years have taught us anything it is that print newspaper is rapidly becoming a thing of the past. The future is online, not print.

The Gazette is obviously run by some backwards thinking nut who believes he can preserve print newspaper against the forces of history. This will only turn the Gazette into a paper of true obscurity and hasten it's eventual bankruptcy.

The base for the online version of the Gazette and the print newspaper readership are two nearly competely different groups of people. While advertising is present in both, the Gazette is cutting off it's nose to spite its face by significantly reducing that audience. People will just go to the Times-Union online for their local news. It will NOT make people subscribe to the print version of the Gazette.

The Gazette better get its' act together and throw out the old geezer who is about to destroy any future prospects the Gazette might hold in Schenectady's future. If they don't, then, well, goodbye Gazette. You're just a dinosaur that couldn't adapt and soon you'll be extinct.

"keepers of traditional ways" is all to often just a catchphrase for "keepers of traditional bigotries and hatreds".

Poor Richard. He says because he didn't get "free" health care, nobody else should get it either.

What a small, bigoted, narrow minded view from someone who should be wiser than that.

Just six years after the First Amendment became an official part of the Constitution, the U.S. Senate read (in the English language) and ratified a treaty with Tripoli which included in Article 11 the following assertion: "The government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion" (John Adams, 1797, Hunter Miller, ed., Treaties and other International Acts, 2:365).

The Founding Fathers could not have stated the principle of separation any more clearly than when they wrote: "No religious Test shall ever be required as a qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States" (U. S. Constitution, 1787, Art. 6, Sec. 3).

Most people have a poor understanding of history. The neocons and right wing fundamentalists of the last twenty or thirty years have done what they can to obscure these truths in favor of their own ideologies. America is not a Christian nation, but we are a free nation. It's important not to let the partisan ideologues change that.

Power crews in this area are the worst. I've only lived here three years and the quality and stability of electrical power is extremely poor!

I dunno. The author of this article certainly puts out a lot of hot air in a cycle, but I don't think we can hold them personally to blame for climate change.
