Here’s a sampling of what you sent to letters@dailysignal.com.—Ken McIntyre Dear Daily Signal: I am 74. In high school back in the 1960s, I had a teacher who developed in me a fascination with current affairs that exists to this day.  Over the years, a few stories have triggered a “What the heck is going on?” reaction. Today, it seems almost daily…
