Who’s life is it?
[December 22, 2003, first published on court.com]
To the editors, Reader’s Digest (letters@rd.com)
We are writing regarding the “Wouldn’t It Be Great If…” article in the January 2004 Reader’s Digest (published mid-December 2003) which suggests forcing people to give a year of their lives to the government. The author writes, “Think of everything they could accomplish.” If forcing people to give a year of their life to serve the government can accomplish so much and is such a good idea, why not make it 10 or 20? Even 30 or 40?

Oklahoma Attorney General
“I have recently been made aware of a market practice known as ’short selling’ and am amazed that it is legal.” Drew Edmondson, Oklahoma Attorney General, Los Angeles Times, December 18, 2003.
What were the people of Oklahoma thinking electing someone as embarrassing and uneducated as this character?
