My daily newspaper, a centrist corporation, today printed a letter against the welfare state that included the following. "No doubt word will be spread throughout Guatemala, El Salvador, and other decrepit Latin American countries and nearby states about the new California Dream: come to California for free lodging, free food and free medical care."
Letters printed by newspapers should, in my opinion, be factually accurate and not moronic. Does the editor think racists deserve a fair share of the ink? Or does the editor publish occasional bits of racist sarcasm because it is an effective way to attract attention and sell papers? What motivates the editor?
