The following letter comes to me from Dave Lopez, a "behavior coach" for the residents of a youth shelter at the YMCA in Sarasota, Florida. I believe that he is responding to this column.

I particularly enjoy how I magically transform from "terrorist looking Mexican" to "commy" to "socialist" then to "suicide bomber" for "allah". It's the first time I've ever been accused of being a MexicanMuslimAtheistLeftistReactionaryTerrorist.

Once again you have created an article of no value what so ever. First I would like to know why the change in appearance? Were you getting to much heat for looking middle eastern? Are you going for the "terrorist looking mexican to cross the border" appeal? I hear thats the new thing. I am very surprised that you are able to publish such nonsense, and more surprised that you get paid to feed us garbage. Of all the articles from you that I have read, not one of them answered any questions for me. Maybe you should call the column something else so people aren't hoodwinked into your misleading information. I don't know what point you were trying to make about your comparisons from the "Has the war on terror made the world safer from terrorism?" article. Maybe you should just write for entertainment weekly or something. What about the real questions that your blind, leftist, liberal ass chooses to ignore. "How many new schools have been put up for the children of Iraq since Saddam was pulled out of his rat hole?" or "How many women and men of the FREE IRAQ are able to start their own business?" or "How come there was 6 terrorist attacks under Bill Clinton and only one under the current administration?" or "Why wasn't state sponsored terrorism, i.e. Saddam and Iraq, investigated after the First World Trade Center attack?" or simply "Why does the news media, whom have an inherited obligation to show the American people both sides of the story, ignore all the positive things going on in that war?" or, wait this is the best one yet, "Why does Creative Loafing/Weekly Planet insist on allowing you to cloud the vision of the readers and either lie or talk about irrelevant crap that you call writing." Your bias gibberish is nothing short of exposing the one-sided, liberal minded attitude of the Weekly Planet. I'm real sick of seeing you commy, socialist pigs get all the print and air waves. It's about time for a new look at things. I urge the Weekly Planet to find someone else to write this article, someone who will look at this War with a less bias approach. And don't think just because I'm writing this that it makes for good publicity, sure I read the Weekly Planet but I can't tell you anything past the "Don't Panic" section, I then through the publication away in discuss or use it for the bottom of my bird cage so the crap can build up on your article, it looks better, puts it in common company. Please send your resume to some complete entertainment publication and quit giving the people of this area more left-wing, bias crap, we get enough. You might as well star adding your praise be to allah in the article and sign up at the nearest suicide bomber recruitment center, I hear they are looking for young, idiots with no direction in life. Oh yea, one more thing, next time you write more crap, just think about the innocent victims and families affected by the atrocities of terrorist on September 11, 2001, instead of your own selfish ideas. Have a terrible day!
