Letter to that Editor

As I read the American way magazine and these gratuitous letters to the editor in a plethora of ways speaking to the genius of this idea because of the social media destroying all long depthful thought in the younger generation, I've found inspiration in the form of frustration.
 I write this letter to the editor, not to win the 100,000 miles of travel (although who wouldn't want to win that) but to speak for my own generation and the stereotypes that have taken their toll. Letter writing may be scarce, but it is not a lost art. It is practiced, perhaps in secret now, because of the lack of confidence in the younger generation being able to hold thoughts of substance. The most frustration only comes from the same use of social media and technology by the older generation. We all aren't lost to the to art of writing, we only exercise different forms of it, like spontaneous bursts of passion in 140 characters or less.
