[LPmeck] Letter to Editor, Observer

[Christopher Cole]

I've sent the following letter to the Observer. I suspect that they  
won't print it, or will edit into unrecognizability. Either way, it  
was fun to write.

To the editor:
The voters of Charlotte have my sympathy for their choices in this  
year's elections. They must choose between two mayoral candidates,  
both of whom are approved by the Observer editorial board: All hail  
Mayor Flaxxiter! At the same time, the board grudgingly approves one  
of the three true opposition candidates, Tariq Bokhari, while  
demonizing Matt Ridenhour and ignoring Travis Wheat. These are sad  
times.
Sincerely,
Chris Cole

"Those who pretend they want to preserve freedom, while they are eager to fix
prices, wage rates, and interest rates at a level different from that of the
market, delude themselves. There is no other alternative to  
totalitarian slavery
than liberty. There is no other planning for freedom and general  
welfare than to
let the market system work. There is no other means to attain full employment,
rising real wage rates, and a high standard of living for the common man than
private initiative and free enterprise."
