Sirs,
In response to your headline piece of Tuesday 1st December, I have a suggestion: why doesn't President Ma set a green example and demand that he be driven around in a cute little Toyota Prius? Or is it that only the lives of everyday people must be turned upside down to save the planet from the hide-the-change algorithm?
Yours as always,
Michael Fagan
Update: Yes you published this, but you deleted my smart-alec, which was the entire point of the thing. This is one of the reasons I blog my letters - here's what my letter originally looked like, and here is how you deliberately altered it:
In response to your headline piece on Tuesday (“DPP slams Ma’s campaigning expenses,” page 1), I have a suggestion: Why doesn’t President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) set a green example and demand that he be driven around in a cute little Toyota Prius? Or is it that only the lives of everyday people must be turned upside down to save the planet?
You can evade me and you can evade your own conscience but you can't evade reality, it will always come to kick your ass.
