They Don’t Speak Spanish at All I would like to comment on this week’s article regarding people speaking Spanglish (“I Succumbed to Spanglish,” December 29 cover story) in the Tijuana area. I used to live in Mexico,
and a lot of Americans on this side of the border are always complaining that the Latin American and Mexican people don’t speak English. But while I was down there I met many Americans who don’t speak Spanish at all! There are so many people speaking Spanglish at the border who don’t even really try. Americans shouldn’t complain about Latinos speaking English, because there are thousands of Amer- icans south of the border, and they don’t speak Spanish at all.

Mesmerized by Matthews Was an absolute joy to read “Seahorse Dreams” by Neal Matthews (December 22 cover story). This article kept me mesmerized — I felt I was actually there. Beautiful writ- ing and photography! Thank you for this bit of
joy in my stressful life. And may the journeys and expe- ditions continue to bring joy, love, and strength to Neal and all of us who read his adventures.

Surprised You Pub- lished It While John Donne’s “A Noc-
turnal Upon St. Lucy’s Day” was a rare and interesting find in your December issue (Rhyme and Verse, Decem- ber 15), I am surprised you published it. The poem’s con- tent is so macabre (though intricately hidden as you cor- rectly point out) that I would think it more appropriate for a Halloween issue. As to your commentary on
Donne, perhaps I know little about the man. However, I actually find so much mock- ery and defiance of God, and so much death obsession/ erotica in his other works, that I would avoid terms like “deepening Christian faith” and “religious fervor” in describing them! Perhaps his read sermons were kosher, and I would say that you are what you eat; but in his case, maybe “liar, liar, pants on fire” is a more fitting verse. Alice B. Cardiff
Climate Change Is Not a Serious Problem Re: SD on the QT, December 15, “McElroy’s Mission” I’m surprised to see that
the Catholic church is per- petuating the false narrative of CO2 emissions. They are putting their full weight of the church to push it. There is no 97% consensus. The Cook, et al. study
of 11,000 journal articles and studies has a faulty methodology and statisti- cal analysis. Analysis of the study has shown that there is only a 0.5 percent consen- sus among climatologists and other scientists. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change member Dr. Ivanoff says it’s been a politicized movement and has nothing to do with science or the environment. Al Gore’s movie, An Inconvenient Truth, has nine serious factual errors, according to Dr. Jake Hebert of the Institute for Creation Research. Polar bears have been found to increase and decrease in their population. Also, a recent expedition to the South Pole found that the ice there is not shrink- ing.

gists, meteorologists, peer- continued on page 30
