Something to talk about

From the Gazette:


“Something to Talk About, a new feature for the Opinion page that appears for the first time this week, is designed to encourage our readers to engage in discussion on issues and events of the day. On a regular basis we’ll be inviting everyone to respond from their personal point of view to a question that we hope will be general enough to include everyone and stimulate conversation. Responses should be brief, perhaps two or three sentences, in order to allow us to publish as many as possible. Readers can email their responses to editor@gazettenewsonline.com or mail them to The Middleboro Gazette, P.O. Box 551, Middleboro, MA 02346 although since responses will be published the week after a particular question is posed we would have to receive them by Monday of that week at the latest. All responses must be signed in order to be published.

The first question, appropriately enough, we think, given the current state of the economy and the holiday gift-giving season, is this: What changes have you and your family made in your personal spending habits as a result of the economic situation? If you’re currently shopping for Christmas gifts, for instance, is that a different experience for you this year?

Non anonymous comments should be sent to editor@gazettenewsonline.com
