Every week, I dread that 'Thing' coming into the house. There doesn't seem to be a way to stop it. It just arrives, unbidden & unwelcome with Fliers! Millions of Fliers! (wasn't the Age of Computers supposed to create a 'paperless society'?)
A lot of the really Right Wing Reactionary Insanity started a few years ago when changes to the school system would supposedly promote education & tolerance. It became obvious that some wanted neither. A not-so-silent 'majority'?? Who's to say, but Loud, Nutz, & Adamant-Yes! When in doubt -Quote God! (or misquote God, & hope those heathens won't notice.) :(
It's quite obvious who the paper(s) pander to. If you find yourself wearing a bed sheet,& carrying a sign that says, "Repent! The End is Nigh!", you will probably get a letter published. (or maybe a sign that says. "Women & Gays are the cause of all our problems!"?)
I found this editorial offensive. I live in the 'Burbs. I find about 98% of the editorials offensive in that rag. (Yup, even the one where he wants to 'shoot the Wabbit'. It's obviously a Commie Pinko Wabbit. It demands a share of his produce.)
Pitting the City against the Burbs :{..like that isn't done every day. With friends like this, who needs enemies? We already have enough animosity, gripes, & feelings of 'hard done by'. We don't need it stirred up more by Newspaper stories in wanker tabloids making it worse.
If ANYBODY was going to dissolve the Union that Mike Harris sanctified, it would have been done long ago, & it hasn't been. Anybody got any reasons Why? I'd like to know..
(None-consummation makes perfect sense to me, unless a whole lot of consummation has been going on behind our collective back?)
Maybe the editor will be running for Mayor, next election? Perhaps this is the beginning of a platform? "Crankiness, Regression, And Polarization." Be ready to read all about C.R.A.P.! (Coming sooner than you want; to a letter slot far too near to you.)
