Appreciate mean people

It appears that I have been discovered. Mr. Charov, obviously a man who aced his reading comprehension tests, has seen through my false praise of Aly Remtulla's May 11 column and revealed the bitter criticism underneath (May 13). Foiled again. But in all fairness, I must say, "Kudos to you, Mr. Charov."

My only hope as you lead your minions down the yellow brick road to worlds of rainbows and ice cream and pillow fights is that you remember all of us "mean people." Remember us for all the trouble we caused, all the students we mocked, all the alcohol we consumed.

We are the ones who make life interesting for the rest. Without our antics, what would you do when it came time to write letters and whine? You need mean people.
