La Voz

Monday, October 30, 2006

Last month, Dan Sealana told us, "Nobody cares what the writers on this newspaper think. You could [not] care less whether I'm a Democrat or Republican."

I agree.

The darts that the La Voz opinion writers have thrown in the past two weeks only waste paper and will not change anyone's opinion.

When I went to high school, only last year, I knew an outspoken Republican with whom I often ate lunch. I enjoyed our political discussions because our sarcastic jabs never pierced deeply and we made them in fun.

If your newspaper's writers' columns contained such wordplay, I would call it entertainment. Today, I call it politics.

You asked your readers for positive letters, and this is not one. I ask the opinion writers for positive articles. In truth, I enjoy reading La Voz every week. I look forward to next week's edition, and hope that cooler heads will prevail.
