LETTERS: ATTITUDE COSTS US THE FREEDOMS OTHERS DIED FOR

To the editor:

Michael Pryor of the Taste Lounge in Cape Girardeau represents a large and growing number of the American public today. He is ignorant of the meaning of that flag. Countless young men and women have died preserving his right to own his own business as well as his right to show such ignorance. Countless others serve still to keep those freedoms. It is this attitude which is losing the freedoms we all take for granted.
