I agree that 14-year-old Krystle Newquist showed a great deal of courage in using duct tape to cover the name of the liquor establishment that sponsored her Little League softball team (Voice, Aug. 15); however, her reasoning is misguided.
“How could she support the kind of establishment that killed her grandfather?” (who died from cirrhosis of the liver), the writer asked.
I suggest that her grandfather died because of choices he made. If he had died as a result of a heart attack, brought upon by clogged arteries, would she refuse to run around advertising her local butcher shop, grocery store or fast-food restaurant on her back?
