I am not apologetic about my Rantings.  These are letters and articles I've submitted to newspapers and magazines either commenting on headline events and major issues, or sometimes counter-punching writers I disagree with.  Some were published, others rejected.  But to be fair, many of the published ones were also rejected, if you judge by the pile of hate mail I've accumulated since I started sending them out.  In posting the non-published ones on the Internet, I'm hoping to engage the haters so thoroughly that they'll forget to vote.
