All letters are subject to editing for brevity and clarity.
Preference will be given to letters less than 200 words. That the study of logic has long been abandoned in our schools is continually evident in most of the responses of your readers. That human decency is a scarce commodity in a society that flaunts its religiosity and morality at every turn is a painful but evident dichotomy. That would be in appreciation of the fact that American blacks do not have to face the tribal warfare, the periodic famine and such that is frequently reported from continental Africa today. That Mr. McCarthy feels comfortable presenting such an ugly level of cruelty, condescension and primitive post-hoc reasoning is hard for me, a white man with a reasonable level of objectivity, to completely grasp.
