Email Rant To The White House

When I rail I don’t bother with punctuation or caps...I rail in free verse and add a disclaimer; that’s cheaper than a shrink.

Late one night I was sitting here at the computer railing at just some of the mess I find our country in; you know what I mean:

Two unnecessary wars...innocent women and children killed by American “smart” bombs...kinda like virtual war games.

So, I’m railing away and at the last minute I decide to email it to the White House. This was before they provided a detailed form for us to fill out. Guess they want to discourage kooks like me.

As usual, I didn’t sign my rant. Remember, I wasn’t planning on sending it to anyone, least of all to the White House!

A few weeks, maybe months later, I receive a letter in the mail with the blind embossed presidential seal. The letter answered one of the concerns I expressed in my rant. Holy s**t! I thought.

I went back through my “sent” emails and, sure enough, there was my rant. I’ll post it on a later blog.

If I figure out how to reproduce the letter to the blog, I’ll do that, too. But, that may take the expertise of Dr. O’Brien. Yeah, she’s a PhD, EE. Do I sound proud? You betcha!

Well, the moral of this little story is: Behave yourselves! Big brother really is watching.
