Stocking Up Food Banks Voice of the People

Chronicle readers share their thoughts every day through social media, including Facebook, Twitter and the comment section of Chronline.com. Here are some of the recent highlights of conversation.

Chronicle Facebook followers respond to post of “Lewis County Considers Lifting Marijuana Morato- rium, Again:”

Catrina Mathis: I’m against having these shops in town, however. Aren’t there two in Chehalis, one over by Sunbirds?

The Chronicle: The city of Chehalis allows marijuana to be sold within their city limits. They received $24,000 this year back from the state in excise taxes, per Initiative 502 legisla- tion. Because Lewis County (rural county) has a moratorium, Lewis County receives no mari- juana funding, only Chehalis.

John Smith: The shops won’t harm you. No one will drag you in and make you “take mari- juana.” It’s legal here and I would just as soon see the local area bring in some tax $$$. After Photograph submitted by Bonnie Petersen, Lewis County Food Bank Coalition all, we are a very poor county. This is some of the food collected by Shop’n Kart at its Chehalis and Centralia stores. The drive during November and Decem- ber brought in yielded more than 9,500 pounds for distribution to eight food banks in Lewis County.

By Bill Daley Chicago Tribune Donald J. Trump became the 45th president of the United States on Friday. Will you pray for him? That’s a question many Americans will be facing — es- pecially the millions who voted for someone else in November. Surely, we all want what’s best for the country. But, after such a contentious election, are we willing to pray for Trump as his administration takes power? Whatever the answer, and whether it is voiced silently in private or publicly as a faith community, the question speaks to a larger issue: Should we, as Jesus famously instructed in the Gospel of Matthew, love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us? Should we pray for colleagues we resent at work, the neighbors we clash with over lo- cal politics, the so-called friends who continually snub us and the family members who wound us so with their words? “The most radical command- ment is to love our enemies,” said Robert Trawick, a professor of religious studies at St. Thomas Aquinas College in Sparkhill, N.Y. “It’s very easy to love the people we like. That doesn’t cut it.” Whether “good” people can and should pray for “bad” peo- ple (who’s who so often depends on the beholder) is an ages-old conundrum. I posed the ques- tion to clerics, professors, writ- ers and faith-based activists. Stephen T. Asma, a Colum- bia College Chicago philoso- phy professor and the author of, among other works, “Why I
