I’m still digesting Sen. Susan Collins’ Dec. 29 column. what I found most troubling with the column is what is most glaringly missing: climate change and attacks on our democracy. I’m assuming the senator recognizes the existential threat of both, one to global humankind and the other to our form of representative democracy. I can’t express how disappointed I am with her silence regarding these two issues. Apparently she is either totally intimidated by her Republican colleagues or totally ignorant of the consequences. Neither is acceptable. ~ Roger Beeley, Scarborough
