Wow!
By now, you’d think that I’d have this whole columnist thing down pat. But I am still astounded by the frequency and ferocity of readers’ reactions to certain topics.
I seldom address issues like religion, regions of family origin or the marriage status of politician’s parents because their ratio of relevance to reaction is so poor. But I swear to you that I can get just as many heated letters if I say something bad about the brand of car a sizable group of readers parked in with their first date. Touch on guns (yeah OR nay!), and folks will flood my inbox with the strangest commentaries.
