Your Letters

What POSSIBLE connection did this question have to the rest of the "great moments" column, and how grossly insensitive and idiotic is it on so many levels, given the climate in America's social psyche today? It was an absolutely inappropriate question posed in a totally uncalled-for manner. Think about it, Mr. Birk. You asked a teenager, "If you could KILL OFF..." To kill off means to annihilate, destroy, eradicate. The cat or dog issue is inflammatory at best, but moot to the crux of the issue. You might easily have asked: pigeons or parakeets, jocks or Goths, girls or boys? Have YOU been living in a video game? Should your co-workers be nervous if you are ever fired? Why would a reporter who is even remotely attuned to the problems in our society today pose such a question to anyone, let alone to a directionless teenager?
