As I read the Viewpoints page to get my daily ration of laughs and groans, I look at the writers' places of residence. As I was doing so Sunday, I read Warner Robins; Macon; Wyndam, Maine; Kathleen and Dublin. Wyndam, Maine? I wondered why would The Telegraph publish a letter from someone in Maine? I reread the guidelines for getting a letter printed and among them is: "Priority will be given to letters that address contemporary local issues and have wide community interest." I wasn't aware that legalizing marijuana was such a burning local issue. I don't recall reading many stories in the paper nor letters in Viewpoints addressing this subject. So why did Viewpoints choose to print a letter from a resident of Wyndam, Maine on the (apparently) contemporary local issue of legalizing marijuana? I'm sure I'm not the only person who would like to know. Bert Peters Warner Robins - --- MAP posted-by: Larry Seguin
