You're Not The Only Person, Janice

I liked this letter in yesterday's Metro...

Parks memorials are hypocritical

Am I the only person who thinks it's offensively ironic that our government is praising Rosa Parks so much? They're the ones who threw her in jail! Are Bush and Bloomberg going to give medals to all the people today committing civil disobedience against our unjust government? Nope. They're throwing 100 percent of today's Rosa Parks in jail. Unbelievable!

--Janice Amato (Manhattan)

Absolutely... we are right to honor her, but are hypocritical to simultaneously punish those who emulate her.
