A Letter From my old Battlegrounds
By Matt Margolis | November 16, 2003
Today I received an e-mail from a current student at the University of Hartford. It’s nice to see my efforts recognized by others.
Hi, Matt. I saw your site a while ago and today I felt like writing to you. As you may recall, I was one of your fellow staff members on the Informer, and I portrayed myself as a radical leftist. Today, I still think I am radical, although I can’t say I’m a leftist anymore. The change started when, one day in class, my ‘liberal,’ hippie friend turned on me after I somewhat-jokingly said that I didn’t want to go to her antiwar protest, because the war was going to happen anyway. Now, like you, I was raised in a pretty ‘liberal’ town and engrained with its cultural stereotypes. Becoming an unofficial resident of West Hartford has been an eye-opener. I’m still a Democrat, but only because I want to have a say in who becomes mayor of my town and no Republican has ever made it past the primary. Well, what I wanted to say was that although I do not agree with everything you say, I think you are a good writer, are rightfully entitled to your opinion, and to the free expression of it. You are obviously going places.

Thanks, Chris.
