Letter: On being tough

1 month ago | tucson.com | David Hatch

I firmly agree with most of the letters in the Sunday paper regarding our malignant president, but it comes down to this; the difference between being tough and being strong. A "tough" minded person tries to hide his insecurities behind a persona of blame-games and lies. Such a person is not in touch with his real self. He is easily insulted and does not negotiate with others unless they exalt him. He does not belong in government.
Letter: Pearls

2 months ago | tucson.com | David Hatch

Somehow, I'm still wondering (after 3 days) if I am the only reader who sees the light regarding the letter "America's Foundation" in Monday's edition of the Star. At first I thought the perpetual letter writer was really sincere this time, but after thinking it over, I realized I am not the only one who is so disappointed that the Star dropped the comic strip Pearls Before Swine. So now I get it ... he knows this breach of information is very serious. But he's filling in for Stephan Pastis.

Letter: A strong leader

Nov 2, 2024 | tucson.com | David Hatch

In times like these, I'm sure we all agree that we obviously need a strong leader. But what is not so obvious is, who has the stronger personality? Just a reminder to those who may still be on the fence: A person who has high self-esteem does not waste his time disparaging others. He is not easily insulted so he has no need to insult others. He does not speak falsely of others. He has no need to bring others down. A strong personality is willing and able to take advice from, and work with others.
Letter: Arizona 's Eleven votes

Oct 9, 2024 | tucson.com | David Hatch

On September 24 at a rally in Pennsylvania, Trump stated that "It should be illegal to criticize the Supreme Court."And "Those who criticize judges should be tossed in jail."So if he is returned to the White House, how long before he says, "Those who criticize the Executive shall be tossed in jail for a period not to exceed 10 years, or the end of my dictatorship ... whichever comes first."Do I really think that could happen?
Letter: The border wall

Aug 27, 2024 | tucson.com | David Hatch

It seems just plain WEIRD to hear the ex-president denigrate VP Harris in regards to the border wall. EveryoneEveryone kows that Biden and Harris negotiated a bipartisan border deal. (One of the few times that enough Republicans and Democrats came together to accomplish something.) It certainly wasn't perfect, but it would have been an improvement. Now it is getting used for political football.
Letter: The American experiment

Aug 5, 2024 | tucson.com | David Hatch

One need not be confused by "titles" when it comes to defining our form of government. It doesn't really much matter whether you call it a "democracy" or a "republic". (It is actually a REPRESENTATIVE DEM0CRACY.)If that's too confusing, all you need to know is this....AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, WE STILL HAVE THE PRIVILEGE TO VOTE !And Donald Trump wants to "FIX" that !David HatchSoutheast sideDisclaimer: As submitted to the Arizona Daily Star.

Food Safety Risk Assessments are “Data Hungry”

Aug 5, 2024 | foodsafetytech.com | David Hatch

David Hatch — VP, Digital Solutions Marketing, Neogen explains that risk assessments are data hungry. “I got to sit in a room with the food safety team from a global organization. They were looking at both a hazard analysis and a risk assessment. The hazard is the thing that causes danger. The risk assessment is determining how probable is this thing to happen? And, if it happens, at what frequency does it happen? And, then how severe is the problem, if it happens?

Letter: Four years ago

Jun 17, 2024 | tucson.com | David Hatch

RE: The letter of June 9th "Four years ago"The writer advises that we should just consider the "COLD HARD NUMBERS."This would be tantamount to asking "Mrs. Lincoln, other than that, on a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate the performance of each actor? How can you consider the price of gas without considering the time frame? Many people were sheltering at home. Jobs had been lost. The refineries were running out of storage. They could hardly give it away. Who wants to buy gas with nowhere to go?
