Why do people write letters to the editor of their local newspaper? Even more perplexing - why do other people read those letters, and why would anyone publish a collection of them? And finally, why would anyone read a collection of somebody else's letters, much less pay for the privilege? Gene McDougall not only writes such letters, but has gone the extra mile in putting together "The McDougall Letters." Why? Because he believes he has the answers to most of the world's ills, and therefore feels duty bound to share his wisdom with the world for the betterment of all mankind. This book contains his solutions to a wide variety of problems ranging from his mathematically foolproof formula that would have turned the offensively challenged 2004 Chicago Bears into champions by simply having them punt or attempt a field goal on each and every offensive play, to how we can return our government to the people by replacing our unfair and hopelessly corrupt election system with a lottery procedure similar to that now used for jury selection. Clearly, Gene McDougall is special.
