Feedback: Don't run good people down

Response to: Letter: Grinch who stole firewood

Mr. Russo c/o ColumbiaMagazine.com:

I''m sorry that you feel this way, about us, about Adair County Citizens.

Not everyone in this county, is a thief. There are a lot of us who do work.

I don't want anyone to run good people down, just because things don't always go their way.

Maybe showing a little more kindness would make things would be a whole lot better for you.

Happy New Year,

s/Ann Cape

Feedback to writer of The Grinch who stole firewood

Response to: The Grinch who stole firewood on Christmas Day No...not everyone in our town doesn't work. Most Adair Countians are hard working citizens. Our town is like every other town in the world. A few select people, like the person who stole your wood, gives everybody else a bad name. Don't paint the whole community black because of one bad apple.
