Letter to the editor: Let's be civilized, decent again

Let’s be civilized, decent again

Let’s all go back to where we came from; about 90% of me would have to go to the British Isles, and the rest chopped up between Sweden and Germany. I guess I could take part of a cousin or two along, but they’d have to be cut up too, to even more places.

It would cut down the population of the world. Is that what the people who call for “going back” want? I was taught that this country is a place for people who needed a better life to come, since its beginning.

With deep apologies to the Native Americans who were here first, and African-­Americans who were brought here without their consent, we all now are inhabitants of a country that is in danger of losing its way in cruelty, ruthlessness and depravity of government.

How will we get civilized enough to be decent to each other? And elect people who would do the same?
