Editor’s note: The following is in response to a letter about a local car show that appeared in the June 17 edition.
It must have been very hard to have your tennis game interrupted by politics. I, however, would like to commend a DJ for totally avoiding the actual profanity and substituting "Let's Go Brandon." The DJ is entitled to respond to how politics impact his life. The policies of politicians have an impact on people's lives, not just tennis players. I have no doubt mothers with nursing issues feel politics bleed into their lives when no baby formula is available. The young father who can no longer afford to drive to work because of the cost of gas has politics bleed into his life every day. The retired couple on a fixed income feel politics bleed into their lives when they have to struggle to adjust to a new food budget that excludes many of their favorite foods. Of course, in some people's worlds, the concerns of everyday people are nothing compared to having their tennis game interrupted by a phrase such as "Let's Go Brandon." Maybe we should make a law or rule against speaking unless it is approved by a government agency. I bet that would meet with your approval. But I would never approve of censorship of any kind. I support the DJ who went out of his way to avoid using profanity.
