Responses to "a letter to a heartless landlord"

Sorry, was in a bad mood, and I felt like the devil's advocate's advocate.
I too have had the whole kick-around, and frankly spent 30 years trying to
do something about it, and I'm more than a little pissed that the kids today are
so post-modern without awareness of their selfish postion. Caught in fear of place.
But, it takes injustice to provoke reason and action.
Without responding line by line, I'll say that you got to the bottom of my email and
gave me good marks, re my comments about following up and possibly taking action
if they do you fraudulently.
"Here! Here! Now that's the right attitude!"
Maybe I should have said that stuff at the top, and sermonized later, or not at all.
Incidentally, some of us (unfortunately not enuff) 60's codgers took a spiritual path,
and I for one of those then later took a warrior's path, and did make myself into a
published author, but unfortunately became a pariah on my home team (that's the lefties)
for my efforts.
Keep up the good fight, I can't seem to summon the energy for that that I've had in the past.
And, well, frankly they're such bloody good adversaries, you know, with the power,
the money, the press, the the the ... that's it's really quite difficult to do much more than
land a light jab. And, I'm too old for cute and outrageous stuff. (Though I do admit to
giving you a bit of a shot, just to see how you'd react.)
However, your potential case if they play it out fraudulently, as they might, very well
may be potentially much more than a shot across their (the collective landlord's) bow.
So, if you can get some support from neighbors, follow-up.
Let us all know through Craig's list what's up. We care. We really do.
