TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

I was shocked and surprised when I saw the sign at your Amarillo, Texas restaurant (the one on Western Avenue) advertising “Senior citizens: buy one get one free.” Besides the potentially terrifying consideration of where you might be obtaining the elderly people whom you are offering to give away, never have I seen such a trivialization of the value of human lives, much less human lives endowed with such a wide gamut of experience and wisdom. It is an outrage that our preceeding generations should be cast about with such little regard for their actual worth.
