I'm sure many of us here in SA share the inarticulate Swanson's desire for him to get the hell out of here as fast as possible! See...we DO agree on something!
The more recent letter was right on target. One of many things that makes San Antonio great is the willingness by all sides to embrace our many differences -- ethnicity, politics, religion. Sure, every place claims the same appreciation for diversity, but in SA it really is a way of life. I've never lived in a city where white, brown, black and every other color mix together so easily. Hey, I'm white and in the minority here but that's not an issue in San Antonio. In fact we revel in a good, loud argument about Republicans and Democrats, liberals and conservatives, Mexicans and Gringos, Tejano, rock and country, Cowboys and Texans. And we pity our unfortunate friends and relatives who are relegated to living in megalopolises like DFW and Houston. And Austin? Whatever.
We know we've got it good here and we're starting to realize that our city is the future of America. Anyone who doesn't get it, well, just doesn't get it. Viva San Antonio!
