Dear Mr. President.
I understand how you life is made up of facing a new crisis every
hour or so, most of which are coming not from without, but from within our
Nation. Thinking about this, I finally understood why you were elected against
all odds. It was your time, and you were available and able. You know,
of course that the energy that is behind you has and will sustain you through
the present storms of fanaticism that are assaulting us on all fronts.
So, having said that, I am asking you to take a few minutes
of your time to put the squash on a group of greedy little Babbitts, another form of fanaticism, who are intent
on desecrating the Grand Canyon by
turning it into a shopping mall for the unconscious.
I know that you know
what the Grand Canyon is and what it means to this Nation. An article in today’s
NY Times a cathedral under siege by Kevin Fedarko has all the details of this greedy materialistic
assault on, well, a national treasure.
Lots of love
-tom
