 		It feels weird seeing my name like that. Please change it to either Christopher M. LoBue or just Chris LoBue. I don't really care which.

 		I noticed a few things, still:

Quote:
the loss of all of the rights


I'd drop 'all the'.

Quote:
such things have been know to happen


"known to"

Quote:
We see the beginnings of a repressive state in what was once a free society, and the possibility that we may face


It looks like this sentence is unfinished.

Overall, this is much closer to the message I would like to send, so add my name:
hobyrne (U.S.A.)

 		All right, all additional signers added and all noted errors corrected.

The current version is as follows:

Quote:
Dear Editor:

This is an open letter to Council Leader Earlywine from the people of Earth.

We are shocked and dismayed by your recent actions, Mr. Earlywine. Here on Earth, we have worked hard to ensure a free flow of information between Earth and Perplex City so as to keep the citizens of Perplex City informed on our status in the search for the Receda Cube. After all, it's hard for people to believe they're ever going to recover something they've lost unless they hear from those who are searching for it.

We have shared the information we gathered while attempting to locate the Receda Cube, and the views we have developed on the many facets of Perplex City life because we wanted you to learn about us and how we work together to achieve a goal such as the successful recovery of the Receda Cube.

We freely admit that we aren't perfect: we love, we hate, we argue, we fight, and sometimes we let our differences divide us instead of looking past them to the common threads that are shared by all - threads that should bind us together. But not once did we shy away from your requests - indeed, we did our best to fulfill them.

But we and our fellow Cube hunters believe that our greatest moment thus far occurred when the main Earth-to-Perplex City data link was disrupted by agents of an organization known as The Third Power, who told us to "say goodbye to Perplex City!" (Quoted directly from the messages they sent once they had successfully cut the link.)

It was feared that the carrier wave would dissipate, forever crushing the hope that the Receda Cube would be found and returned - but we on Earth formed a single, massive group dedicated to making sure that the secondary San Francisco link was activated so that information could once again flow between Earth and Perplex City. It was a difficult task, and even with our best minds taking on this mighty challenge, we barely managed to activate the San Francisco terminal before the carrier wave faded. In fact, reliable sources at both Mind Candy and the Perplex City Academy informed us that the carrier wave was mere minutes away from fading completely when they picked up the signal from San Francisco.

And now, after all the work we have put into ensuring that communications between Earth and Perplex City remain open, your first act is to have it locked down. This drastic action - to practically shut down the data link after all the effort we put into making sure it stayed operational - represents not only a grave setback to years of Cube recovery efforts, but a sure impediment to any further efforts.

What's next, Mr. Earlywine? Considering your current attitudes, we on Earth fear that the citizens of Perplex City may be facing a greater loss than that of the Receda Cube: the loss of the rights and privileges they take for granted in their daily lives. Such things have been known to happen in situations such as these.

This may sound alarming to some people, and perhaps it is. But we, the undersigned, speak for all those on Earth who have sacrificed their time and effort to assist in the mantaining of the Perplex City-Earth link. Your actions and attitude are not conducive to a successful outcome. They serve only to hinder it.

You have taken advantage of panic and outrage to further your own ends, and we on Earth consider this a deplorable act on your part - indeed, we would consider it a deplorable act on the part of any public servant. We have worked with the people of Perplex City in good faith, and for our efforts we have gotten closer to recovering the Receda Cube that those in Perplex City long for.

But we now see a political coup staged in a time of fear, uncertainty, and doubt generated not out of any reasonable cause - but an experiment whose potential benefits were ignored and whose flaws were magnified and twisted out of proportion. We see the beginnings of a repressive state in what was once a free society.

We of Earth call on you to reconsider your actions, Mr. Earlywine, and we call on the citizens of Perplex City to stand with us in rejecting your policies. Your attitudes and actions do not assist us in locating the Receda Cube; indeed, your interference only hinders our joint efforts.

However, despite our dismay at the unfortunate choices that Mr. Earlywine has made, we bear no ill will towards the people of Perplex City. Indeed, we consider the people of Perplex City to be our friends, and we hope that this parting between our respective cultures will be a brief one.

Additionally, the people of Perplex City can rest assured that we on Earth will continue our efforts to locate the Receda Cube and keep it secure in the hopes that a physical gateway between Earth and Perplex City may someday be established, in spite of Mr. Earlywine's attitude towards the people of Earth.

And when that day comes, we sincerely hope that the representatives of Earth and the representatives of Perplex City will meet with good will towards all and malice towards none.

Sincerely yours,

Representing the people of Earth


Unless there are any further amendments or corrections, this is the version that will be sent.

I'm planning to send it off on Monday, unless anyone has any objections (although certain people at the Perplexorum were less than sanguine about the whole open letter deal; some of the posts were along the lines of "What a stupid idea, this just gives Earlywine more anti-Earth ammo." Oh well, you can't please everyone . . . ).

 		FWIW, I think it should be sent today - a week after the crackdown. Leaving it until Monday will drag it out, and quite possibly lessen any impact it may have.

 		That's an interesting thought, myf.

Any objections?
