Re. Richard Landis' March 19, letter, "Going to far":

It's amazing and somewhat mystifying how two individuals can read the same column and have such opposite reactions. Richard Landis read Dr. Paulson's March 15 column "8 Surefire Ways to Fail as a Democrat" and really got turned off. I read the column and really got turned on !

It reminds me of what someone (I have no idea who) wrote many years ago that has stuck with me: "Two men looked out from prison bars; one saw mud and the other saw stars."
Richard Landis saw "mud" and I saw "stars."

I thought Dr. Paulson's satire was hilarious in some ways and so very prophetic in other ways. Time will tell, of course, whether Dr. Paulson is on target, but my advice would be not to bet against him.
