Schoolchildren To Write World's Longest Letter (To Bush*)

[matcom]

<snip>

WHOEVER said letter writing is out of fashion forgot to tell thousands of US schoolchildren, who plan to roll out a half-mile-long epistle to President George W. Bush next month.

Some 4000 eight-to-ten year-olds from each of the 50 states and Washington DC, were asked to write to President George W. Bush with their aspirations for America's future in a letter.
The missives will be joined together to make the world's longest letter and unveiled in a ceremony sponsored by a pen manufacturer on the US capital's National Mall on September 15.

"Being a teacher is hard work. Can you pass a law that allows teachers to teach and someone else to do the paper work?," wrote one student, Nicole, from a public school in the Bronx district of New York.

Another student, Gabe, from Morrice, Michigan, wrote "could you lower taxes and make smoking illegal? My dad is addicted to smoking and I tell him to quit."

1. Don't these children know that Bush can't read anything above

10-20 pages long and that's provided it's big text and has pictures

2. I don't think school children should be writing "fuck you".

3. And Bush can write back as is his wont,

"Who cares what you think?"
