Kemper now:
I thinking sending emails is a great example for our youth.  The
wording, however, could be different.  Also, the article only showed
the kooky angry.  It also compared howlers to hate mail.  Not quite
accurate.  The reporter obviously has not read the books.  The email I
sent on the other hand, was not used as example of a disappointed fan
even though it was rational.

Delays and disappointments are a part of life.  But they don't always
need to be.  

I prefer youth to use their voice.  I also prefer more elders to set
better examples. Our culture is apathetic enough and could use a bit
of passion (though compassion would be better).
