We Only Get 150 Words in the Sun
Had a letter to the editor printed in the Philadelphia Inquirer today. The paper cut out a line I had blasting Phil Gramm’s nation of whiners comment, but them’s the breaks. Since I allowed the paper to publish my e-mail address, I’ve gotten about a dozen responses, most of which are criticisms. I’m debating whether to reply or post more on the blog or what. But I do think it was a nice bit of placement that the letter showed up n the same editorial section as this unsigned editorial and an op-ed (which I can’t yet see online) that discusses Gramm’s role in 90s-era deregulation.
About Dave Thomer
Born and raised in Philadelphia. Studied philosophy at Fordham University in the Bronx, where I made many great friends and met my wonderful wife. We moved back to Philadelphia, where I studied philosophy some more and became a teacher. Online and off, I'm looking for ways that we can be better citizens and build stronger communities.
