I think if I walked into some media mogul's office and demanded to be heard I would be, after an appropriate struggle of course , thrown out on my ass. If I submit a letter to an editor he/she (got to keep FS off my 4th POC) has the "editorial perrogative" either not to print it or edit it. In my simple way of looking at things, the playing field is not at all level which really ticks me off seeing as anyone who has worn this country's uniform has guaranteed these treasonous bastards the right to put our compatriots in harms way. Just my opinion.
