Dorman won’t take my advice to take his B.S. to California

I’m really not all that complicated, nor am I much of any other adjective, except mature, inquisitive and open minded on most subjects.
Re: Todd Dorman’s B.S. in Sunday’s Gazette, what does define life? A heartbeat! Not politics! End of discussion. There are many ways to avoid a pregnancy, available to both partners. Our legal system is structured around life and loss of life. Give life and you’re at peace with most of the world. Take a life and you will feel the wrath of society, period! Politics has no place in this discussion.
Dorman was lucky, his mother chose life for him. Every Sunday I have to read to Dorman’s political bias. But not much longer. He didn’t take my advice to move to California where he could preach to the “like-minded,” so I’ll move … away from The Gazette, as many people I know are. I can read most of what passes as “editorial” by going online to the original source. I can get my sports news the same day, as opposed to waiting a couple of days on The Gazette. I can get my yucks from the comics that are not politically screened (no, not the editorial page) elsewhere. I don’t even use The Gazette to wrap dead fish in.
I’m pretty sure this won’t get published, but that’s in keeping with an “agenda.” That said, I won’t be renewing my “subscription” when the time comes. I still think they would love Dorman in California.
