If I had a lawn (I live in a townhouse), I'd be yelling that at the neighborhood kids. Would've been for years.

I've had 3 printed in my local paper. All regarding gun control. I am against it.

Do you get any sense of satisfaction from seeing your views in the paper? It's cool to see my name mentioned, but that aside, I don't feel much excitement.
Mr. Daystar

Yes I did actually. I was VERY annoyed by the original op-ed article for the first letter, and it was very nice to be able to verbally bitch slap the ignorant, misinformed author. I must admit, the following 2 did not give me as much satisfaction, but I was very surprised the paper printed them, seeing as how it's a very liberal publication, and my letters refuted staff writers. I do give the paper props for allowing the other side to voice their (my) opinion though.
By the way, congratulations. Even if you don't feel as satisfied as you had hoped, or expected....they only have so much space, and believe it or not, they get a lot more letters than you think....you are among the very few.
I have had too many to count printed in the local paper
My proudest one is having one printed in MAXIM! I have that issue and treasure it (NO - I will not say which issue)

Try being the topic of letters to the editor and get back to me.

I just got back from Golden Corral. Now I'll watch a little Fox News and go to bed at about 9. Then at 3;00 I'll have to get up for a misty stop and go piss.
I piss at around 3:30 a.m. whether I get up or not.

Will it be misty and stop and go, though?
Yeah,the old prostate ain't what it used to be. So probably so.

It's polite/decent(?) of that paper to print an opposing opinion, especially if it tends to lean more one way than another. Good for you for making your voice heard, whether it changed minds or not, and thank you for the congratulations.
Same question to you too: did you get any sense of satisfaction from seeing anything you sent in get printed (outside of the MAXIM one, you obviously are proud of that)?
It's in today's Washington Post if you have a copy.

See, I told ya so. The power of the sharply worded letter. Are you now ready to run for town counsel?

I can't rightly say why I felt the need to do so, even with every other article or op/ed that I've had an opinion on or that I've disagreed with; I just did.
The Washington Post.
You did bob, you did. When I get elected, I'll give you that cushy office you always wanted, complete with miniature racetrack for the miniature horses.
