I was published

this cartoon was in the paper last week. It really rubbed me the wrong way and before I could settle down, I had email the entire staff with the question "does this offend anyone?" and I emailed the editor.

My letter to the editor is below the cartoon. It was in today's paper. I'm a little embarassed about expressing my opinion on the matter, but I'm also kinda happy that I made the paper.
According to the price of our add, to sale the house, I figure that letter is worth about $500.

The funny thing about it is, is that I got the date wrong. It appeared in the paper on 2/22, not 2/20 :)

The thought of people in monroe county looking around for a 2/20 paper and it's not in there and then trying to find out which paper it was in, and all the calls the newspaper will get, makes me laugh.

BUT the article is a serious matter.
