To the Editor:

I read with interest a recent story about the turtles that are holding up the development of property. It's probably costing the developers, and their employees and subcontractors, tons of money.

Do you think there might be something wrong with a society that makes laws to save a turtle that practically no one has any interest in, and wouldn't make any difference whether it became extinct, yet, also passes laws that permit the murder of an unborn human being - created by God and with the opportunity to make a significant difference in this world?

If we want to find out whether a merciful, yet, just God does in fact judge nations with immoral priorities such as these, then we should just keep doing what we are doing.

We'll find out one way or another.

Dear Larry the Loser:

Allow me to introduce myself: I am your worst nightmare. I am an agnostic turtle-loving abortion rights activist, and I VOTE. The first order of business is to vote YOU off the island. I want to live near sweet peaceful reptiles, not the cold blooded development freaks like yourself. Move to Schaumburg, you pavement-craving idiot! The biggest nature walk and exercise experience in your life can be from the parking lot to the automatic doors at Ikea while eating your Cheesecake Factory confectionery. See you at the polls!
