*By Neil Macaulay Santa Monica*

In your editorial (“These are the good ol’ days,” Nov. 9, page 4) you conclude by saying: “Indeed, things here can be so chill that we enact legislation to allow us to get our ganja on. Well smoke it if you got it, Santa Monicans.”

I didn’t understand any of that. What are you talking about? I find your command of English very poor. Isn’t journalism supposed to be about communication... in clear concise English?

What are you communicating? Nothing to me.
