My letters

Submitted letters to the editor and other parties. Only a few of these were published.

Monday, April 12, 2004


To the letters editor:

The big loser in the current controversy over toy guns is freedom, the freedom of parents to decide what kinds of toys their children play with. While the death of a youngster is a tragedy, it is a much greater tragedy for the public to clamor to have its freedom taken away in quest of an unattainable goal. Does anyone on the City Council speak for freedom? Does freedom have a constituency?

What would George Washington say if he knew that government was abrogating freedom while foolishly concerning itself with the minutæ of toys? Did his brave men die in vain?
