Moo Cow Population Blues

RECEIVED Tue., June 17, 2008

Dear Editor,
    In regard to the letter from Sarah Stewart in the June 13 issue, p.10 [“Postmarks”]: Wise up.
    It was my intent to be very offensive to most women, and I'm very good at it. I learned from the best.
    Don't quote scripture to me. Genesis 8:17 mentions cattle. I grew up with cattle. Any cattleman will tell you that you don't put out more cattle than you have pasturage for.
    Why do you think there is famine in so many parts of the world? It doesn't take a genius to figure out it's because the population has exceeded their food supply.
    Also, the desire for sex is fine by me, but there are several reliable methods of contraception. Use them.
    I'm not angry, I'm pragmatic. And if Sarah wants me to become softer toward this issue, well, this is my soft side. Moo cow.
Glen Ilkka
   p.s. Have the good taste to get hit by famine.
