I’m sorry, but I have to strongly disagree with the Rev. Rahelio Soleil’s point of view on the result of last November’s election [Letters, June]. Minnesota did not get it done to us. We did not get mugged. Yes, the Republican party spent lots of money and hauled in the heavy artillery to shill for their candidates, but the state has a Republican governor and a senator who could match Bill Clinton in indiscretions because people who wanted different government didn’t vote and didn’t get out the vote. As Clinton Collins Jr. says in the same issue, “You gain nothing by blaming… whoever, for giving you crap… you have no one to blame but yourself if you take it.”
