The opening paragraph of this letter is interesting. The letter writer opens by making a claim to special status due to age and state residency then makes an obviously false claim that "there is no difference among people of different races, genders and religions,"--the very statement is a contradiction. I would hope Mr. Granas was trying to say that despite differences among people everyone should be equal before the law. But that's not what he said. Worse yet, he makes the ridiculous claim that every person could choose to be themselves (untrue, ask any gay person over the age of 65) and then implies that someone has "shoved something in his face" although he doesn't say who or what. "We all got along fine" he claims which I translate as we all got along fine so long as minorities stayed in their place. Your tranquility is going to be disturbed Mr. Granas because the youth aren't going to stay in their racially designated places any longer.
