Letter to the Editor 1/29/99

Rohrabacher must not have read the dramatic climax of the novel or missed it during a popcorn run. As public school teachers, we can't let him forget. Here it is: Piggy martyrs himself in defense of his democratically elected leader, his brains dashed on the rocks by Jack and his cronies to destroy civilization on the island and gain partisan power. Gee, what lessons can be learned here?

Destroying democracy to gain partisan power! Shame, shame, shame! Hands off the conch, Dana!

-Brian and Amy Caulfield, Costa Mesa
