Читать книгу For KSCO: I'm Kay Zwerling - KSCO Radio - Страница 41

(December 20, 2004) First, here is a short open letter to a small, very loud group of Americans:

You are always offended by some bullpucky or other. Now, the rest of us are getting angry, because now your incessant complaining is taking the joy out of our beautiful holiday season.

For about 150 years, our government has peacefully acknowledged the existence of God with the words “In God we trust” on our money, and we have enjoyed reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and singing God Bless America at ball games and other public functions, and we like to say “Merry Christmas”, and some of us are happy honoring Christmas with small public displays of baby Jesus in the manger, or a display of a Menorah saying “Happy Hanako”. So what’s the big deal? You’d better get over it, because we the silent majority will no longer cater to your offended sensibilities. Control yourselves, and put up with it. If you are momentarily bothered, cover your ears or go to the john, or go hug a tree, or better still, go to Canada where there are so many more like you. You will be happier there.

So much for the negativity.

Now, to those who listen to KSCO and KOMY, as matriarch and on behalf of the Zwerling family, local residents for 57 years, I say thank you to our bright and loyal listeners, thank you to our delightful and incredibly informed callers, thank you advertisers for your very much appreciated support, thank you to our great radio staff for working happily and enthusiastically, and it shows in the programming. We feel good knowing that we are a conduit for various points of view. I for one am grateful for the privilege to make commentaries and hope they make a positive difference. Let us all make an effort to be good to each other and respect our differences. My family and I wish all of you good health and peace of mind in the year ahead, the two most important blessings, without which life would not be worth much. We pray for our troops in action, and we pray for wisdom in our leaders, and God please bless America.
