The Daily Planet received a copy of this letter addressed to the City Council: 

Thank you for your courageous council resolution regarding the events of Sept. 11 and the bombing of Afghanistan. Although not a resident of Berkeley, I think that you have represented your constituency well and showed resolve in defending your progressive stance amid great controversy.  

Don’t be intimidated by the threats and bluster of boycotts; to the future eye, you’ll look like one of the few sane voices in the storm of the times. I hope that more communities join you in requesting a quick end to the bombing. And meanwhile, I’ll be shopping and dining in Berkeley more regularly.
