Nice to hear, from a lefty reader, regarding my column:

Dear Mr. Goldberg,
I am a hardened left-winger in most of my political views, and therefore rarely agree with your writings. However, I am dropping you this note just to express to you my whole-hearted and emphatic assent to every word in your recent piece “A Mighty Wind.” The colossal selfishness and hypocrisy on the part of “do-good liberals” that this article illustrates is rendered all the more grave by the fact that the world economy is facing the imminent onset of Peak Oil, the early symptoms of which are in evidence even now. Ultimately, what we are talking about here are petty and infantile addictions to the perquisites of wealth (sorry, I cannot refrain from putting a leftist class-warfare spin on it!).
By the way, if you are unfamiliar with the concept of Peak Oil, and the protracted energy crisis therefore facing the planet, I encourage you to read TWILIGHT IN THE DESERT by Matthew Simmons. Simmons is the world’s leading energy investment banker, and therefore a writer whom you would probably find to be ideologically congenial.
With cordial warmth (despite being an intractable ideological foe),
[Name withheld] PhD.

And from a less than lefty reader:

Someone needs to tell Cronkite that we can’t build windmill farms here in ‘interior New England’ because all the interior New England liberals have protected all the ‘open space’. Liberals want progress until it ’spoils’ their way of life. Let some other poor chump put up with looking at those damn wind farms. I mean, I paid a lot of money for this beachfront property! WHY CAN’T SOMEONE ELSE BEAR THE BURDEN! WHY IS IT ALWAYS US RICH PEOPLE THAT HAVE TO SACRIFICE SO MUCH! I MEAN, THE OTHER DAY, KATIE COURIC SAID SHE HAD TO TAKE OUT A LOAN TO PAY FOR GAS TO FILL UP HER MINIVAN! LIFE HAS BECOME SO UNFAIR FOR US LIBERAL RICH FOLK! AAAAAHHHHH!
Please, I just needed to vent. Sorry about that.
