In my local weekly newspaper (this is a weekly, so letters are usually several days behind)... http://www.remindernet.com/fr_spk.htm

It's anonymous if anybody wants to submit anything.

Mine are 'flu shots' and 'selfish hedonist' The Martha Stewart one is good, too.

My flu shot one was in response to some back & forth on the US vs Canadian health care over the past month.

4. My "FluGate" LTE was Published here in Mass.

Intelligence and morality must be equal partners in public policy, otherwise we are doomed to tragic misadventures. Sadly, the Bush Administration has no demonstrable "learning curve," and by word and deed the "Politics of Darkness" prevails.

Thousands of Americans, including young children,will perish because corporate greed and political apathy have deprived millions of needed flu vaccines. It truly is a national disgrace that could potentially kill as many Americans this winter as died during the Vietnam War.

Few drug companies invest in vaccine production because of the comparatively low profit margins. One US drug company outsourcing to England contaminated millions of vials and were shut down by the Brits. The problem is corporate greed and political pandering, not lawyers and lawsuits.

"FluGate" is a valid political issue and the poster child for Bush’’s failed leadership and corporate pandering. This crisis was predictable and totally preventable if Bush had been interested in protecting the safety of the American people. The shipment of 2.6 million doses of flu vaccine in January is too little, too late. American needs at least 40 million doses right now.

The Bush Myth Machine always refuses to admit error or responsibility as it belches smoke in a charade of Christian and family values. Bush has been selling himself like a Snake Oil Salesman with considerable success among unthinking voters who judge his words but ignore his actions which are neither Christian or competent.

Whether Americans will continue to swallow these Washington “bird droppings” is unclear. What is clear is that Bush was "asleep at the switch" on 9/11; he didn't protect us then and he's definitely not protecting us now. His administration will be infamous for Big Deficits, Big Business, Big Government, a Big Vietnam in Iraq, a Big Mess at home, and burgeoning funeral home businesses. The real "wolves" are already in the White House.

5. excellent letter

We're in 2 blue states, though.

A few months ago, when I moved into the neighborhood, my weekly was almost all Freeper crap. I'm glad I'm helping to turn the tide.
