Ventura Mostly on Mark

RECEIVED Wed., June 9, 2010

Dear Editor,
    Re: Michael Ventura's “Letters at 3AM”: I have been meaning to write to say how much we have appreciated Ventura's "Oligarchy" series. It's mostly right on the mark. The only major point I have a problem with is, oddly enough, the title. We really have a plutocracy (rule by the rich!). We will probably go down in history as the modern-day equivalent of the old Republic of Venice.
    By the way, I really think he should gather together all of the articles (when he's done) and publish them in a book.
Best & thanks for publishing,
Brad Strahan
