This letter is directed to the person or persons who helped themselves to my street sign a couple of weeks ago. If stealing from a couple of senior citizens makes you happy, then you must be delirious. You do understand that street signs are markers for emergency response vehicles, don’t you? And what exactly do you do with a stolen street sign? Hang it on your wall as a constant reminder that you are a thief? Wow, what an accomplishment. What next? The swings from a playground? To say “shame on you” isn’t quite strong enough, but it will do.
Catherine Faust,
Winfield

Public investment
Public investment? Pennsylvania's funding of our local schools is a crying shame. Sure, times are tough, but the state managed to come up with $10 million for Bucknell University, a private school, to have a new bookstore in downtown Lewisburg. I'm still not sure how Bucknell wrangled that deal or why a private university is entitled to public funding.

Ill-conceived measure
Ill-conceived plan. It is imperative that motorists drive safely and courteously when approaching bicyclists. The only problem with the new bicyclist law requiring motorists to allow four feet of distance between their cars and the bicyclists is that this will place the car in the opposing travel lane or require it to cross the yellow line in a no-passing zone.

Public obligation
As part of her argument for home schooling, "Studying in Pajamas", Jan. 20, Joanna Wert dismisses public schools and "the majority of American workers" with a few condescending generalizations. She goes on to extol her own children's virtues and accomplishments, and then lists famous people whom she claims were home-schooled.
