" Now that's what I call letter writing..."

Reading the local editor to editor column gives one insight into the personality of any given community that publishes an open editorial system of letting the residents submit their opinions.

I enjoy this section most since these are opinions and are not fact ridden news-stories.

Sometimes I wish people would write letters to the editor like a good fiction thriller. Imagine seeing in the editorial section of your local paper, a serial killer who kills people while they eat  cereal , this person would be the ultimate serial killer.

I guess I am getting board with all the, 'I would like to thank this organization,' or 'kudos to the boy scouts for helping senior citizens.' I am especially bored with the letter's that start out with 'in response to someone elses letter,' or 'in response to a story that appeared previously in the said periodicals.' These are the worst letters, the people without any imagination who can only respond to someone else's original thoughts and never have an original thought of their own

To the people who only write in response to, how about trying to be creative,with something like;

Once upon a time on the cosmic island of Kauai there lived a very uncreative letters to editor writer who decided to make a flying surfboard with a bread machine attached to it! Now that's what I call letter writing!
