Speaking of letters to the editor, this one didn't get posted last year in response to a previous letter. I believe it was published September 26, 2009 in response to this letter which was a response to this letter. Whew! At least I think that's what happened.
Editor, The Transcript:
I feel compeled to write to you in response to a recent letter published in your fine publication from Ms. Joan Kozalowski. She questioned my truthfulness concerning a letter I wrote you about my neighbors. I can assure you that it was completely true. I do have neighbors and they are not figments of my imagination nor characters from a movie or television program, though I often enjoy watching television and movies.
I wonder if this response is a result of the growing cynicism in society. No one can be trusted. Everyone is out to get your money or pull a “fast one”. No one is willing to help their fellow man anymore!
I have seen a man at a busy intersection in Oklahoma City with a cardboard sign “Veteran Needs Money!”. Do I assume he’s not really a Veteran?
Someone in Nigeria e-mailed me an urgent message that his money was tied up here in America and needed my help. Should I assume he's trying to con me?
If we can't trust what is written in our local newspaper who can we trust? Who is Ms. Kozalowski going to tell us we can't trust next? Our own government of this great country that we live in? Shame on you Ms. Kozalowski!
If Joan Kozalowski (if that is her real name) does not believe me, I invite her to join my wife and I in my front yard. We've been watching the neighbors for weeks and we still don't know what they're up to.
Thank you,
Tim Duncan
A concerned citizen
