[fvc-wat-disc] Tyranny of the false majority

[Sharon Sommerville]

Hi Kevin,

Great suggestion, thank you!

This editorial appeared in today's Record:

https://www.therecord.com/opinion-story/8892799-the-record-s-view-ford-s-dictatorial-leadership-suffers-a-judicial-setback/

Would you consider taking you idea and writing a letter to the editor in
response to the Record's editorial.  It is a good fit and a very important
and timely opportunity.

Kind regards,
Sharon
