Just a side note about letters-to-the-editor pages. Since it is one persons opinion, not the papers, they like to run them the way they come in. People (in this country) have the right to their opinion, the right to be wrong, the right to be stupid, the right to be satirical and the right to do it publicly. Remember, if you get a really good interesting fight going on the pages, more people might just read them. Sometimes people write letters just to pull your chain.
