To the editor:

This is to the Indy and whoever else might give a damn. Actually, this is for those who don't give a damn either. I'll tell ya what, keep your damn in your pocket until I finish, then decide what you wanna do with it. If you want to keep it, that's fine. If not, then give freely. How's that? These days people get all bent out of shape and uptight about things they don't understand and don't want to take the time to learn about. Its sickening, really. People tune into the daily news or CNN and just eat up the slop they toss at ya, like they're a flock of pigs or something. It kills me. Cause most of the time, that's the way they act. The world goes to crap and they're not sure where to point their finger at. And after a hard day at the office, running around like madmen trying to make a profit...once they get home and have the SUV parked, there's just no energy left to figure out where to point your finger...the wretches...so what do they do? They decide to get the extra-inside scoop of what's happening and turn on the latest update of Showdown Iraq. Showdown Iraq? That's another thing. This whole damn war kick is campaigned like the .latest trend. A fancy happening that just fancies to happen. It kills me. And people just gobble it right up like a bunch of pigs in flocks. Feed em anything and they'll gulp it right down. Whatever they watch or read, it doesn't matter, it could be the New York Times, Larry "The Louse" King, or even you Indy. Now don't get me wrong, they can be for or against the war. but it doesn't matter what you are or what you do if its for all the wrong reasons. Take my dog for instance. Every time I come home he gets so excited he starts jumping all over everything and pisses all over the place. I'm not sure how this fits in and I'm not even sure why I just told you all of that because hell, I don't even own a dog. But listen up, everybody has ideas about the world's problems but the thing that gets me is it doesn't happen to be anybody's fault. Don't believe me? Go ahead and ask the wretches running around this place. They'll assure you they didn't do it but they can matter of factly point out who did. So you go ask that person and they point you back to the louse you asked in the first place. It depresses, to tell you the truth. I'm not one all for politics and all the bull they sling back and forth, but that's just it with this whole mess and everything. Everybody likes shooting whatever they have to shoot just to shoot it, which is why no one hits the target. Which is why everything's just about 90 percent phony (probably more). I just wanted to say it's a pity, really, and depressing. That's all.
