“The lesser of two evils”? No WAY!
Letter to the editor;
Hitler and Stalin were running for King of the World.
Everyone was advised to choose the lesser of two evils.
It was pointed out that Hitler had excellent table manners and that Stalin was a slob; that Hitler talked way too long whenever he had an audience and that German mathematicians and engineers were generally superior to their Russian counterparts.
And the voters fell into line, ready to vote for Hitler or for Stalin, grasping at such trivialities to justify their votes.
A very few voters publicly said they would vote for anybody else on the ballot, or even write in the President of Switzerland or somebody.
They were hooted down with choruses of “You must choose the lesser of two evils!” (repeated thousands of times).
We are told our vote will not count unless it is for McCain or Obama.
I tell you your vote won't count unless it is for someone else. Anybody else.

Your attention, Congresscritters!
Letter to the editor:
The all-purpose letter to politicians
You promised clean government.
The people believed you, elected you and sent you to Congress.
When you got to Washington, the nice people there took you to seminars and dinners and speeches and you were taught that everything is not all that simple.
You were taught that you have to go along to get along, and that the more in debt we are, the richer we are.
You knew (and you still know) that this is a bunch of baloney. But you were with people who were used to spending the people's money like it was something nasty to get rid of.
Now the crew of you has bankrupted us. What will you do for an encore? For that matter, what can you do to keep the country afloat for a few more days?
I suggest, if it is not already eternally too late, that you read the Constitution and obey it and encourage others to obey it.
I suggest, if it is not already eternally too late, that you impeach the most spendthrift Members of Congress.
I suggest that you write your own bills, limit them to a single subject and cite whatever clause of the Constitution that authorizes that bill.
Then, on the other hand, it might be too late anyway.

The really B – I – G picture
Letter to the editor;
This Earth orbits a star and receives life-giving light and heat from it.
There are thousands of millions of stars in this galaxy.
There are thousands of millions of other galaxies.
Each galaxy is neatly arranged to orbit around its own center.
The many galaxies “fall” away from each other so that they will never collide.
Any number of stars may be accompanied by planets. Any number of those planets may be habitable.
Either the Eternal King of Creation made all of those objects just to be passing the time, or He made them with a purpose.
Since the purpose of this planet is to provide spirits with a place to enjoy mortality, it may well be that untold millions (or perhaps even thousands of millions) of planets are, at any given time, not only habitable -- but inhabited.
Since the Lord G-d saw fit to create us in His image on this planet, it may well be that He would create man in His image on each suitable planet.
And why would He do this? For His own Glory, that's why!
Every religious person should form, within his or her own theology, a unified Plan of Salvation that includes not only this planet, but any number of planets that G-d has created, beatified, sanctified and made into homes for His children. (Atheists don’t need to bother with this issue.)
(Planets do not accidentally become habitable. It takes many miracles, over millions of years, to bring a proto-planet of molten iron to the condition of being able to hold oceans and atmosphere, make topsoil, grow grass and trees, and support ants and plankton, to say nothing of sharks, bears and human beings.)

The biggest robbery in history!
Letter to our Congresscritters;If your bank were about to go under, would you go rob other banks in town for the money to strengthen it?No. You're a Member of Congress. You would never commit armed robbery. Instead, you VOTE a robbery. And who would you vote to rob? The entire population. Only there's not enough money among all of us for that. So you vote to rob our children and our grandchildren, too!
“Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.”
“This is the way we always do it.”
“This is an emergency.”
“This is for the good of the nation.”
“The mortgage outfit is too big to fail.”
Your cohorts spent generations putting the fatal pressure on the mortgage outfits by forcing them to lend money to people who could not possibly pay it back -- and to lend money on houses in areas you wouldn't dare to drive thru -- even during daylight hours.
What did anybody THINK would happen?
As near as I understand, the House narrowly voted down the biggest robbery in all of history. Therefore the Money-Boys leaned on y’all to vote on it again and again until you would give them what they wanted.
Italian Fascism showed us what happens when you intertwine government with enterprise. Now that YOU have done it on this gargantuan scale, you should go around apologizing to regular Fascists.
