The letter from your reader in Hamilton, Ontario on Jan. 13, “Saving the Soledad Symbol II,” makes an excellent case for why the cross should be removed from Mount Soledad. The letter states: “The cross displays what is distinctively Christian … It is the image of the Christian revolution.” I, too, want to honor our nation’s veterans and can think of no better way than with the erection of a flag at the site under contention. For many of us who live in La Jolla, the cross primarily represents a Christian symbol and the recent ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is the correct one. Also, I believe that a community newspaper should only publish letters received from those who live in the community. In the Internet age, it’s easy to see how the “Letters to the editor” feature can easily be taken over by groups with their own agendas. I note that you again published two letters from non-residents of La Jolla/San Diego. The lengthy article “Remembering Roe v. Wade” had absolutely nothing to do with any current events in La Jolla. While you state that “the opinions expressed on the Opinion Page do not necessarily reflect those of the La Jolla Village News,” I would guess from the publication of the Roe letter, that is not really the case at all. Unfortunately, you are clearly not a community newspaper. Anne Podney lives in La Jolla
