previously unpublished expose of Boston Globe Magazine

I’m writing to take issue with the tone and substance of Tom Keane’s perspective in Gray Shades of Green. His use of simplistic arguments to attack useful civic programs amounts to small-talk more fit to fill awkward silences at a company party than to be published in this magazine, on which I have come to rely for insightful stories about 13 year old fashion models and listings for cosmetic dentistry professionals. Over-use of resources by people deluded by the sheer size and weight of their purchasing power is a problem at least as serious as the stone-henge of a grill I've got going, which I'm quite confident could be straightened and juvenated by one of this magazine's dozen ads for surgical tooth bonding.
