Open Letters

This is an excerpt from the book,..."The Dinosaur Book of Wisdom and Observations",...


Dear President George W. Bush,

I am writing this letter with deep respect, of you, and your office. This is not a letter voicing disagreement with policy, or questioning any aspect of your leadership, but merely one human being, reaching out to another.

Realizing I have not walked in your shoes, I can only imagine the weight you must bear upon your shoulders; yet, I am sure even that falls very short of true comprehension.

I do not believe apologizing for others possesses true merit; however, I do want to express heartfelt sorrow at our society's constant lack of proper decorum for you and your office. I believe laughter, as defined in the Bible, is good medicine. Throughout your tenure as President. I have noticed a darkened thread of humor; only described as malicious ridicule. I do not believe I have seen this constancy, nor abundance of tasteless humor being directed at another President, within my years.

Due to its inapposite nature, I can only surmise it is a character reflection of those propagating it, and those accepting it. I wish to be named with neither.

Again, may I state I am sorry. I also want to compliment you on your very reserved demeanor, while facing this onslaught; that in itself speaks volumes to me.

Proverbs 12:25, "Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad."

Warmest Regards,
"Preacher Joe" Paluch
