Snip Snip Snip [View all]

So today, much to my surprise, I am published to Readers Write, in the Early Sunday Edition of the Star & Tribune. I barely recognized my short comment after they removed three (and a half) sentences totally and inserted a completely new last line. Although the main point was there the supporting argument for it was missing. Like the ending that they inserted "I am very dismayed". What am I some sort of prude or something. Bleh* I want to vomit.
Left out was a reference to the NRA funding to push the shooting of wolves and people swayed by that. I included " and I include you, Amy". Also left out was the fact that wolves are afraid of people. They inserted their own reference to the article.
So great to be able to be published again except that the censorship totally trashed what I had written. Really makes a person proud to know that the newspaper can use people's names to speak for their own special interests and fears.
