Kudos to all Star Letter writers, published or not, for railing against injustices and standing up for what you believe! Yes this includes everyone who writes in, whether you think they're misguided, whacky or evil. Congratulations for duking it out here on the Letters pages and not in the street, and upholding the core principle of our Democracy--freedom of speech. I end up learning about topics I didn't even know were topics and learning more about topics I thought I already knew.
It's you that make Tucson a vibrant city to exchange ideas. Passionate but civil discourse encourages our youth to more actively participate in a civic life. Totally realize that what I read in the Star Letters might not represent all Tucsonans but if the Pareto Principle holds true---that 20% of the workers produce 80% of the results-then we're going to have a leg up on what we need now more than ever: an informed citizenry. Stand up and be counted!
