Regular letter writer takes another author to task
I must start out this letter by apologizing to mystery writer J. Dibert. It seems that I misspelled her/his last name, all the while thinking that J. Dilbert was a person with atheistic tendencies. I was wrong and I do apologize to J. Dilbert because it really was J. Dibert I meant. What a difference an (l) makes. I'm learning.

It seems that J. Dibert, possibly a female, does not like me writing to the papers concerning my letters to the editor. This person also finds my inclusions to passages of the Bible offensive. This sure sounds like a person who has a tendency toward becoming or being an atheist, doesn't it? You need spiritual guidance for sure, and I pray that you will get it.

I truly am sorry that you find me disgusting. I do not think the same of you. Rather, I feel sorry for you and hope that your brain will shift into gear and pull you out of your mess. Prayer will help.

In your well-written ramblings about me, you give me the opinion that you don't like politics or our government … federal or municipal. You would probably do fine in the middle of the Pacific Ocean somewhere in the horse latitudes. Nobody is there, not even the wind. You will have peace and quiet and not have to read my letters. How's that sound?

So, mystery writer, the more you complain, the more I will compose because it's my right to do so. You have given me cause. In reverse, you also have the right to complain, because a war was fought for just this purpose.

Again I state, if you don't like it here in this country, hop on a Delta flight and they will have you in another country overnight. You can be off like a dirty shirt, real quick. You sound like a chorus girl — they're always kicking.

Freedom, my mystery writer correspondent, is what it's all about, and I leave you with yet another passage from my Bible. I say mine because maybe it's not yours. I hope I'm wrong.

"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free."
