SMOKE YOURSELF INTO A BUBBLE, SHREDDER

Your most recent issue has once and for all confirmed my suspicion that 
your publication is nothing more than a poorly disguised bullhorn for the 
local chapter of the Al Qaeda terror ring.

Half the paper was plastered with pro-pot propaganda which demonized our 
own federal government. Meanwhile, the Shredder made his usual rant against 
law and order, chastising the current administration for doing its best to 
protect our inalienable rights: "G.W. this and congressional leadership that."

How soon before you start advocating medical anthrax? And whatever happened 
to your responsibility as a local paper, your accountability to the burning 
issues of the Central Coast? Instead, you just whine on about how 
terrorism's not your fault  that the dope you've been smoking is 100 
percent terror-free.

Allow me to remind you of something you many have already forgotten. It's 
this thing called 9/11. The evildoers tried to kill us, and they won't rest 
until we, you, and I, are dead. You can choose to smoke yourself into a 
bubble if that's what you prefer, but some people are trying to defend this 
country.

The only way to protect our freedoms in this day and age is to conceal 
them  to hide them someplace where the agents of evil will never, ever find 
them. Keep your uncle's neighbor's travel agent out of it, forget about the 
Humbolt county terror cells, and start growing your own stash in the spare 
bedroom. And keep your mouth shut., before somebody starts listening.
