Dear Asshole,
Remember that scene in Spiderman where Uncle Ben tells Peter
Parker that "with great power comes great responsibility"? Well, as near as I can tell you have about 50
million people following you on Twitter and that represents great power. So how
about, for just one day, you think
about the responsibility that comes along with that power. Twitter is the perfect platform to create
connections and communicate policies/ideas rather than having a stupid,
childish war of words with CNN (and many other news sources as well).
How about some words of support and encouragement for the
2,000 fire fighters risking their lives to save people and property in
California right now. With the Alamo
fire (~19,000 acres) Wall fire (~2,700 acres) and Whittier fire (~5,000 acres)
burning out of control those brave and dedicated fire fighters are on the front
line working hard under the most dangerous circumstances. Would it kill you to say "thank
you" or "good job"? It
would be a very presidential thing to do, you know. You've got the
platform. You've got the followers. Put something positive into the world for
once and acknowledge the wildfire crisis, the thousands of people who have been
evacuated and the thousands of people working to put the fires out.
I am sick to death of your rants and childish complaints,
your name calling and bullying. With
great power does come great responsibility and if you aren't able to think
of what those responsibilities are I will be happy to remind you of them every single
day.
Sincerely,
Amy Beaton
