Letters to the Editor Are Entertaining

In a letter to the editor to The Coeur d’Alene Press , Dean Isaacson clearly dislikes the art commission’s installment of the Ganesha Statue.  Isaacson writes, ” This is not the kind of art that is appreciated by the majority of the citizens here. The claim that it is art is subjective — most people would not interpret an idol as art. In this exhibit, there were other cultural symbols. I am not protesting all the pieces I disagree with. The placement of the Hindu god Genesha is going beyond cultural symbolism; it is the display of a pagan god. This would strike against the sensibilities of most people in this community.”  Read the full letter here .

Other letters this morning included a second letter of late regarding dog poo in our post office here , and another letter suggesting that the local DMV drives people to drink here .

Are you entertained by our local letters to the editor?  Do you appreciate folks like Mr. Isaacson who are willing to speak up about the things that irritate them?
