Dear Sir: .

To the woman i in the great
_ big 4x4,

T ‘watched you speed

down my road and kill my.

-dog.. She was a beautiful
white’ shepherd female, 6
_ years old, in the prime of her
«life. She was a loving dog
_and good with children.

“She “liked” to bark . at ©

a " strange vehicles that come.
© flying off the highway onto

my road for no good reason,

just to speed down my road :

jump. back on the: highway

and broke her leg just before -

your great big tires crushed

would be a huge amount of .

money.

‘the lowest’ paid employees

They could drive a car in-

Dear Sir:

There is an easy way to
. solve the: health care prob- '

lem. Simply check out the
several systems being used
in Europe pick: out the best

stall the blessed thing.
- If you listen to the politi-
cians you would think there

were only two systems in the

entire world, ours and the

- one for this country and in-: -

American. Such.is not the —

case. At one time our way

was the best but that time is
long gone.

You never slowed down

You have sped’ down

at the posted speed limit.
I want you to know you

fore you. robbed me. of her
love. I can never jreplace
her.

“Whei are you: going to”
