To the Editor:

I have read article after article about people who say they need therapy since Donald Trump became president.

What these people should do is write a thank-you letter to our president for exposing their fragile psyches. Then they should trace their past and visit the scoundrels that broke them down into delicate and weak mental midgets.

My goodness! Most of us have endured bad teachers here and there, bad bosses, bad parents and difficult circumstances. I've even watched bad presidents come and go. However, I had a life to live, children to raise, bills to pay and dozens of things requiring my time.

Talk about making America great again! Boy, do we need it. We never could have built this country in the time left between therapy sessions. The cultural elites that have brought us these linguini-spine psychotherapy patients should be ashamed of the product of their collective wisdom. Anger and hate lived on a daily basis is a slow death. The devil stokes that fire.

When I see young adults acting like little children who didn't get their way, I'm reminded of why I'm glad they didn't. A country with an undercurrent of weak-minded young people left to marinate in such a feeble state is a country ripe for trouble.

The current shot of testosterone we are experiencing reminds me of how a slug reacts to salt. Real people with real lives take things like this in stride.

We don't always get exactly what we want and, if we're honest, many times in life, it worked to our advantage. Mature people know this fact. Tell the children.

OK Sweeney's school aid update

To the Editor:

I have been reading about the debate regarding state aid to local school districts and I believe it is very unfair that many districts in our region are being underfunded, based on a 2008 formula. At the same time, districts such as Jersey City and Hoboken that have become wealthier over time are being overfunded based on the formula.

It is obvious that the system desperately needs to be fixed. I applaud state Senate President Stephen Sweeney for stepping up with one plan for that. His is the most common-sense approach, which is to stop overfunding some districts and underfunding others.

He would have all districts eventually receive 100 percent of the formula-based funding -- no more, no less. That is absolutely the fairest way to address the issue, but it is being held up by politicians, mostly in North Jersey, who want to their wealthier districts to keep their extra state funding.

They should stop playing politics, do the right thing. and schedule an Assembly vote on Sweeney's Senate-passed resolution establishing a panel to fix the inequities.
