Letter to the Editor

The letter I chose is from a resident of Athens complaining about the other citizens of Athens who are complaining about the loud noise ordinance.  He believes that people need to stop complaining about the loud noises when they live in a college town. He bashes the police and says that they are acting like "puritans" and trying to take away all of the happiness the students have. He makes a good point stating that the police do not say anything about leaf blowers, mufflers, or horns, and even though they are going off during they day they still show to have stressful effects.

I, of course, totally agree that this noise law is a little bit too ridiculous. I like how he pointed out that this is a college town and people have been putting up with these conditions for years, I do not get why all of sudden they need to shut down parties because they are getting to loud.  I think he did a good job putting this letter together, but I would have made it a little more formal to get more attention.  He calls the policemen all sorts of names throughout the letter, when these are the people who have the power to change the law.  If I were writing this letter I would not call them names because this will just make them angry and not even pay attention to the letter.
