Editor,
Regarding Jeremy Reynalds' bigoted rantings, it is evident that, in this era of political correctness, the only criteria for people to have a column in the Daily Lobo is that they are breathing and they persevere. Content, the editor's stock in trade, has been rendered politically extinct.
After years of seeing Reynalds' name, I have taken largely to ignoring him. His blatherings belie that the premise upon which this country was founded is religious freedom.
My ancestors, Mormons, left Reynalds' native country of England for that very reason. They pushed handcarts across the continental United States suffering hardship and death on the way to building a new land where they could worship God as they saw fit.
They suffered starvation and disease once they arrived. Now Reynalds dares to take up residence in the land built upon their blood and toil to trumpet his monopoly on God.
And the Daily Lobo, in its refusal to exercise prudent editorship, promotes this irrational arrogance, rendering the voice of reason extinct.
