Editor's note

BRATTLEBORO — This week, between the contributions from readers, comments from the website, and the usual mix of food for thought that we find for you, your editor was working with approximately three times the amount of material than he usually has for the Voices section.

We are still working on a roundup of local viewpoints in the aftermath of the Colorado shooting, which should appear in next week's paper.

We'll plan to run letters about the primary election in several batches.

Thanks, as always, for making Voices an eclectic, vibrant, and growing section of this newspaper.
