LETTER: Don’t make fun of the handicapped

I was sad to see the Oct. 23 cartoon by Michael Ramirez making fun of someone who had had a stroke. My sister had a stroke that affected her speech. With therapy, however, she recovered. When the former president made fun of a handicapped reporter, I thought we had reached a new low. I enjoy Mr. Ramirez’s cartoons and hope he will rethink making fun of people with an affliction.

I personally can’t wait to give up the soporific scenery, racetrack-like mentality and beautiful Baker bathroom stops of the Interstate 15 car commute in favor of a sleek, smooth train.
