Common sense

Dear Editor:

RE: Doesn’t like gambling, May 18.

What an excellent letter from Irma DeVries. Common sense is such a rare commodity these days; it was a real pleasure to come across so much of it in one succinct letter. 

Yes, taking everything into account, gambling is a parasite. It’s a shame nobody in authority seems to have realized the blindingly obvious.

Come to think of it, all the letters to the editor in last week’s Advertiser were brilliant and had great things to say on their chosen topic. Is there a common-sense pandemic?
