These are the most uber-liberal cities in America. Has anyone thought about getting a normal American opinion from someone in Alaska, South Carolina, Kentucky, Hawaii, or here? Wow, there is a novel thought\u2014let\u2019s get an opinion from normal people like the folks here on Saipan.\u00a0An opinion from someone on Saipan would be a breath of fresh air.<\/p>\n<p>I genuinely like your paper other than the Opinion page. I actually think it could be ok as well as long as all the bashing only made up 50 percent or one page vice both. It would be nice to see an opposing view or an opinion from someone local.<\/p>\n<p>This is solely my opinion and in no way represents the opinion of those associated with or of the agency I work for.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mica F.
