Denver Post published my letter about airlines

I posted here about the letter I sent in response to Al Lewis's column in the Denver Post where he whinges about sitting next to fat people in airplanes. The Denver Post published my letter here:

*boggle* Why on earth did anyone think he should resign over something his wife did?

Well actually, he didn't resign over something his partner did. He resigned because he didn't want to be hassled by a few dozen town residents. They didn't want him as police chief just because they think it's a Big Deal (tm) that his partner posted a nude photo of herself.

Is it fair? No. Is it his reality? Sadly, yes.

I was touched to see two others resign in protest over how the police chief was hassled.
