THE PUBLIC MIND: CARTOON ON CRUZAN DEATH DRAWS A NEGATIVE RESPONSE

To the Editor:

I find the political cartoon on Page 8A of your Jan. 7 issue extremely distasteful if not sick! I would have preferred not to see it and can see no reasonable purpose in printing it. How could this person possibly know how Nancy Cruzan felt? It's a shame you did not use some of your wisdom and authority to choose not to publish this trash!

The issue of "right to kill" has been around forever. God forgive those who make it commonplace in America.

I normally enjoy your paper. Its layout is pleasing and professional and its articles are interesting and wide in range. Sorry I had to gripe, but I am thoroughly disgusted. My prayer is that this kind of thing is stopped before it is entrenched in our society.
