'JUNK MAIL': Let's talk openly

Can you explain why the article “Junk Mail” was on the front page? First that flyer should have simply been thrown in the trash. It is the opinion of a very small group of individuals. The reaction to it must have made the author quite pleased, it achieved his/her goal.

Also, it appears to say that bigotry and hate is still alive and well in Idaho. Anyone who lives here knows that is not true.

But, the bigger picture is why would an individual be that angry and feel the need to send an anonymous flyer instead of expressing his/her frustration publicly? We have free speech in this country and, whether you agree with an opinion, it should be discussed in the open to find a solution instead of creating hysteria and fueling hatred. I would like to hear some positive solutions from locals instead of more silence and hate. I look forward to a very civilized discussion.
