A Letter To the Editor

Tweet

Have you ever written a letter to the editor of a newspaper? I used to write human interest stories for two different newspapers. One in West Virginia, when I lived there and a small newspaper in Virginia, after I moved here. I came across a letter recently, that I wrote to the editor of a North Carolina newspaper a few years ago, when I lived in North Carolina. I don’t know that if I share some of its content that I will be accused of plagiarism on myLot. It’s entirely my writing but I’m not sure how that works. If it was published, then I suppose it’s on record somewhere as being published. I will tell you this: It was all about SPEEDING on the highway and ignoring the speed limits. When I first moved to North Carolina, I was appalled by the way people drive there. I thought they must think they are all Nascar drivers or something. I do think now though, that it’s a problem in every state. It seems that most persons don’t understand the meaning of the word, LIMIT. Most people think it means that that’s how fast you MUST drive instead of the LIMIT that you are, by law, supposed to not exceed. I set my cruise control most of the time, so that I will NOT exceed the speed limit. I have a clean driver’s record. No speeding tickets and no accidents that were my fault. Not even a fender bender. What about you?
