Slightly less Angry of Ohio


Tuesday, January 15, 2008    Send to a friend Send to a friend
I'm really not feeling the love from Mansfield, Ohio right now... In his email below, Mr. **** - I assume it's a 'Mr.', it certainly sounds like a 'Mr.' - points out that the Wright brothers were also from smalltown Ohio. But I fail to see what that's got to do with my description of Mansfield as "drab and depressing". In any event, I refer Mr. **** to my last post. And I'd also like to point out that my reference to the armed guard reading the bible, was (wholly accurate) 'colour'/
description. I was certainly not mocking her faith.

Dear Mr. Silver: What does the "appearance" of Mansfield, Ohio, "drab and depressing", have to do with a legal case? I found your description of the town, the number of churches and the reference to the Bible as nothing more than a humorous caricature. We are a little more sophisticated here in the "Buckeye" state than you describe. Please remember that two Ohio boys, Orville and Wilbur, invent flight after all. They were from another
"drab and depressing" Ohio town. Best Regards
