To the editor:

I happened to notice on the front page of the March 18 paper a photo of a woman sitting at a bar with a drink in front of her. She was supposedly praying as she listened to our president speak. I wonder if she was praying for forgiveness for being where she was and what she was doing.

You should be ashamed for placing this photo in your publication. If you want to show somebody praying, you should do so a little differently as not to confuse people who can't tell the difference between someone crying in her drink or someone praying.
