I have Heard of Freedom of Speech but.....

...That's absurd! I agree that people have a right to disagree, however, there really is no need to use imagery such as what you described above.

I hope you do get that apology and publicly! Very well written letter. There was no need to depict Bikers in that fashion. We are all people and it seems that who ever put up that cartoon, from its creator to the people of the press room have very little regards for people, including the people they serve with their paper.

Good going Jenn! You Rock!

Thanks! I am all for freedom of speech and everyone is entitled to their opinions, but to publically defame a group of people as a whole... I felt the need to exercise my freedom of speech as well.

I'll let you know how it comes out.

Go you! People should really start recognizing when their stereotypes are out of line! (I.e. pretty much always!)

Thanks! I don't know if anything will come of it, but I needed to try.

The biker of today, is not a freeloading rebel...

Dump the comma. It doesn't belong.

Thanks! I've removed it in the copy edited version that went to the newspaper.
