The problem with Letters to the Editor in Seward is that a certain percentage of the people who write them are clearly crazy. So, if you write a letter to the editor, you risk proving one way or the other if you are. A few weeks ago I came home to find my beloved Ron Paul sign thrown into the neighbor’s yard. It was a little bit of a bother to get it back into the ground (everything was frozen solid) but with a hammer and an ice-pick I managed well enough. Again the next day. Again the next. I was a little bit ticked off, but also quite glad. This gave me the perfect opportunity to see if I was crazy.
It was like it was meant to be. I wrote it up and checked the number of words. 500, exactly the maximum number for letters to the editor.
