RE: Coexisting

Cheers to the reader of Coexisting (Inlander 5/2/13). My Coexist bumper
sticker landed me an anonymous note on my windshield two weeks ago. The
author wrote that the Boston bombers had a "coexist" bumper sticker on
their car. The reasoning given was folks who have bumper stickers think the
opposite of what the bumper sticker says. Fact checking shows the owner of
the stolen car, had the coexist sticker on his car. He managed to evade
the hijackers, stay alive and notify the police. Thanks "coexisting" for
writing. Your eloquence and tolerance are the qualities needed most these
days. I'm committed to coexist with all three of you, including you,
Anonymous, and all of the human race. Dr. King reminded us "We must learn
to live together as brothers or perish together as fools."
