The Warped Woodturner (TWW) is a local artist traveling his artist's journey in a suburb of Springbrook, WI (pop. 536). TWW's creative calling is to use a wood lathe to make useless objects from locally-sequestered organic carbon for tourists to bring back to the city to give to people they had to buy something for but do not like that much. His target market is the senior citizens since their vision is not as good as it used to be so cannot see the defects as well. His marketing jingle is: “Bowls as simple as their creator”.

Another letter to the editor never to be sent in

Editor: 

Neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman shoots an unarmed teenager and gets away with murder. Police officer Wilson in Missouri does the same.  The Duke lacrosse players rape a woman and go scott-free. The frat boys at the University of Virginia do the same and again there is no justice. And now the police officer in Madison may walk after shooting an unarmed teen. This list could go on and on.  So what to do?  It's time to bring back that great American tradition where people join together and engage in do it yourself justice and update it for the 21st century. Let's call it the flash lynch mob and use social media to get the job done.  The last old-fashioned lynch mob in this area happened up in Duluth in 1920 where a crowd who did not even have Facebook got together and did justice by breaking into the jail and lynching three carnival workers.  It does not matter if the three had not committed a crime. What matters is the seriousness of the charge not the facts in these cases. So the next time you hear about an injustice it it time to think. How can we tap the outrage flowing in our veins? It is time to do something about it rather than just feel outraged. It is time to get justice done the modern way.
