By Andrew L. Byrnes, Jr. Santa Monica
I am incensed by you headlining my letter “Analysis paralysis,” (SMDP, June 8, page 4) which will certainly discourage many from reading it — perhaps “Will Morons destroy a national monument”would have been a better choice — and, just below, printing “Idling jets are killing us” (a blatant lie) to enhance Mr. Rubin’s letter readership.
I am sure that the Santa Monica Airport existed before Martin Rubin was born; much less, before he bought a house in the area, assuming he did. Including his assumed title of director for concerned residents against airport pollution, I can’t help but wonder why these misguided folks wanted to live next to any airport. It was their choice — now they should live with it.
