Letter to the Editor

In reference to the current event “show.” What’s the infraction? Why is the first court case titled “hush money?” She didn’t “hush!” Will she be required to pay it all back? Does the “statute of limitations” apply to covering that?

An analogy. How many citizens, among others, mimic history’s “Barabas callers” and how many are under the innocent column? “Well, we don’t have to be, we’re not in charge of what’s important!”

Then why would it be important to hear your opinion? “We have a right to speak!” But should we when there’s nothing positive to be accomplished? “There’s no requirement for that!”

He who spews rhetoric should be the last to speak. Even “tiny stones” can pile up, acting like quicksand, swallowing the caster. Free speech appears to have very few boundaries, except for....”FIRE!”

Chatting locally is a far cry from spreading indign noise internationally. When all said and done, who hasn’t heard the expression, “Shut Your Trap?”
