WEATHERED,

Heads Up

Regarding your editorial ("Neighborhood Danger Zones," Oct., p. 6), my sentiments exactly when I initially read Ms. Schumacher's comments. The Big Box arrogance neverends!

Somehow their skewed view (is) to consider "customer as perpetrator." In other words, if you do not want something to possibly fall on you, then stay out!! We have other customers behind you, trying to get in.

Ah, the value of human life!
