Keep those letters coming

The IJN likes letters from readers. Each week, staffers peruse the letters page with particular relish — especially in the months leading up to an election.

Torrential opinions reach flood proportions. Verbal swords flash and challenge. It is illuminating to read your lightning.

The IJNappreciates coherent letters regardless of which side of an issue they take, for they connect us to your thoughts, insights, emotions — to you.

Of all the possible responses in the human lexicon, silence is the saddest. So keep those letters coming.
