I'm writing in response to the column by Mike Argento on Sunday, July 27th. He began by mentioning the latest political T.V. ads. Then, as always, he fell into an extremely long winded attempt at humor by berating Starbucks' Baristas in the cheapest stereotypical way possible, finally landing head and shoulders above those who serve coffee for a living.
Finish reading 'Argento, long winded' »This morning I began my day as usual with a cup of coffee and the York Daily Record. The first article I read was My Name is Vonnie B. Grimes. I had reached the second paragraph on the second page when I quickly went back to the front page to see who had written it. I was not surprised that it was Mike Argento. I knew it would be. He doesn't write many articles in the paper but when he does I usually can pick them out and that's because of the quality of his writing, it's excellent. I do read his columns, I don't always agree with them or appreciate his sense of humor but I do like to read them. And I certainly don't need or want anyone to tell me I that I shouldn't read them. I have learned a lot from his columns. Whether you enjoy reading an article or not there is always an opportunity to learn something new, and I for one, am not willing to give that up.

Go Ruben! Excellent write up in Mondays paper.
Its a sore subject but its oh so true, this generation is spoiled big time. I am a naturalized citizen and I remember chores had to be done before I went anywhere. My parents were determined that I would learn the values needed to make it on my own. I had to keep my grades up, do chores and in the summer have a job. If I wanted something special I had to earn it.
Finish reading 'Go Ruben!' »I have finally decided that Mike Argento needs someone in his corner. I delight each time I read one of his articles. I have little sympathy for Mr. Klovensky and others who have a problem with Mike. I am confused as to exactly what their problem is with his commentaries. It should be obvious to everyone that he is poking fun at much of the establishment. He calls attenmtion to the issues and some of the ramifications of each one. If he bothers some of the readers that is their problem. To them I say DON'T READ HIS WORKS!!!

You gotta love a letter to the editor encouraging us to refrain from writing letters to the editor (Klovensky 6-28). While one might disagree with Mr. Argento's politics his sense of humor in pointing out the many innane actions of our politicians and yes us, the citizenry is priceless. The most myopic view is to encourage the limiting of free speech because we don't agree with it. Come to think of it I suspect Mr. Klovensky may have given Mr. Argento fodder for his next article.
