Shot while breaking the law? Tough luck!
The following is the newest letter to The Spectrum which will probably not be published. It is a response to this silly piece. But oh dear, I actually too the time to write something entertaining and thought out (compared to this “letter”)! To the editor: This letter is in response to Dan Mecca’s column in [...]
