Readers Rage back!

December 21, 1997
OUTRAGEOUS ROUNDUP!

Readers Rage Back!

A day in the life of our postmaster

We are, of course, amazed that our readers occasionally disagree with our brilliant and witty essays. In fact, sometimes quite a few readers think that The Outrage editors are wrong, misanthropic, idiotic, selfish, deluded, or all of the above.

Mother Outrage always told us that even the dull and the ignorant should have their say, so we've allowed space below for those dissenting opinions (and for shameless flattery).

Tiny bit of missing logic at the beginning of the equal sex essay: Government taxation does NOT tax the rich more, and it sure doesn't tax anybody in the interest of correcting economic discepancy, although this may be a prettier picture of the reality. Other than that, your idea sounds fine.

Dear Rblann,

Regarding your comment below: If you want to read about "good" things, then go to the Positive Press web site.

I agree that the things you've listed here are outrageous. However, there are a lot of good things that happen in this world.

Let's find some balance and tell stories of the good that people do like volunteer work, donations, etc. We need to give credit were credit is due. There are organizations, judges, and everyday people doing extrodinary things. Let's sing their praise.

Sincerely,
RBlann

I just got "online" and am starting to surf the web. I have enjoyed the DO. Happy new year & keep up the good work!

Thank you for this page. It's bookmarked.

Did anyone ever stop to realize that the average age span is 80 years old. The average person has a first child at age 20. Ditto that child, Ditto that child. By the time one person has averaged age 80, there have been at least four more taken his place on the planet.

How many people do you know who stop at just one? Give us a break! Does it take ending up like China to see what is going on?

Are we so stupid we can't see what's going on around us? Is it so easy for you to keep your 9-5, food in your mouth, clothes on your back and the wolf from the door that you think things will be better when there are four of you in a more crowded world with less and less opportunity?

Oh, please...wake up!

Wow! Just discovered your web site, after reading your stories I have come to the conclusion that the gene pool definitely needs some chlorine!

Thanks

As we get ready to catch a plane for vacation, just a note to thank our readers for putting up with us.

Have a great holiday, and we'll see you in 98

Thanks DO. I thoroughly enjoy my almost daily visit to this site. I'm looking forward to another outrageous year in 1998. Happy New Year to the staff at DO and to all the outraged readers. I pray we can all do our part to avoid the outrages from invading our lives. Peace to all.

The Outrage is one of the highlights of my entire computer experience.

Every day (or so) I look forward to reading about the idiots of the world and cringe in near disbelief that these people could possibly think that what they're doing is right. Thank you and Merry X-mas, I look forward to another year.

Viva La Outrage,
Jason

Ahoy! I think your comments and essays are "right on the money!" Thanks for the info and entertainment. Have a nice holiday. See you next year.

Ahoy, scallawags, mermaids, and crustaceans of sort. The more people I meet, the more I love my cats.

As I read your review of the this year's Outrages, I was reminded of the most insightful bumper sticker I ever saw: "THE MORE PEOPLE I MEET, THE MORE I LOVE MY DOG"

After reading this it makes you real proud to be a part of the human race.We as a people seem to have rose colored glasses on when it comes to punishing those who give a bad name to the whole human race.....
