Subject: One Very Well Written Sentence

From the Sunday Portland Oregonian:

"Other than telling us how to live, think, marry, pray, vote, invest, educate our children and, now, die, I think the Republicans have done a fine job of getting government out of our personal lives."

6. Excellent! But they forgot "who to feel compassion for and who to feel
hatred for".

8. It should be amended ...
how NOT to think. They'd rather replace thinking with consuming. Otherwise ... bravo.

9. 35 and below
The Oregonian has a special LTTE section devoted to letters of 35 words or less - it is usually pretty good.
