Letter to the Editor

 

I don’t think I’m opinionated, just observant, and I don’t go around spouting off about the things I notice, I simply put them here.  What you do with the information is up to you.

I never snitch on anyone; I stay away from the political arena and avoid spiritual topics.  That leaves all the nonsense and that is primarily what I focus on.  The biggest part this blog is 99% gibberish.  In today’s atmosphere I find that refreshing.

Journalists, to me, are depressing.  They hunt out the twitching carcass like flies and feed on the ugly remains, as if the rest of us need to know all the blah, blah, blah.  They go to school to learn their craft and try to scoop each other. 

“Ha Ha, I saw the circling buzzards first.”

It doesn’t sadden me that the small-town newspapers dried up and went away, but it does leave concern that the letters to the editor section disappeared along with them.  That was the only honest part of the paper, real people stating what actually is taking place.  Nothing to gain, no one paying them to report, just, “Hey, what about this?  If you do that then this will happen.”

A small part of the people’s voice is gone and that truly is cause for concern.  You can’t look too social media.  Talk about swarming with flies…

     No offence.  I meant them, not you, of course.
