To the editor: One letter author’s indignant rant about individuals transferring out of California jogs my memory of an episode of “The Twilight Zone” known as “The Thoughts and the Matter.”
Within the present, the primary character was fed up with mankind and overpopulation, and with no self-awareness he wished that everybody might be like him. Lengthy story quick, he obtained what he needed, and he was depressing.
It appears to me that those who flee to what they really feel are “extra agreeable” environment are malcontents to start with and gained’t be happy regardless of the place they wind up.
The letter author additionally states that conservatives wish to “make pals with the native individuals who typically suppose like they do,” whereas liberals “crave consideration by being condescending and obnoxious, and by exhibiting how superior they're in comparison with the native people.” And he is aware of this how?

To the editor: Not that I’m towards printing letters espousing opposing viewpoints, however I used to be shocked by one which was nothing greater than an advert hominem assault on liberals.
Absolutely, you could have had extra cogent letters from conservatives, delineating the optimistic values of their arguments, reasonably than the one by which the author describes conservatives as “simply desirous to make pals,” whereas “liberals crave consideration by being condescending and obnoxious, and by exhibiting how superior they're in comparison with the native people.”
For a second, I assumed I used to be studying a submit on Fb or Twitter, the place individuals can say virtually something they need with out having to fret whether or not it has any foundation in fact. I assumed The Occasions had greater editorial requirements.
