He must have been drunk writing that...it makes no sense.

I took it as his attempt to make the residents of Mukwonago give up in the fight for keeping the Mukwonago Indians name.

[Lash]

His political contributions should say it all..

To much reading... short story ?

I received it too , almost didn't fit in the mailbox.

The Mukwonago High school uses the "Indians " name and there has been a fight to change the name for a few years .

A nice gesture but I really only use Rupena's (beef &pork ) secret seasonings or garlic and salt for anything I cook...

What kind of Bizarro world do we live in when "Indians" becomes an offensive term?

Worst "business" letter I've read. LEAD WITH YOUR POINT.

[Lash]

It just doesn't seem like a good business move to me.

Too bad about the script above, heard the interview on the radio last week and was convinced he was sincere.
Like myself he must have that mental attention...that concentration thing...oh forget it he made his point on radio.

Belling had a segment on this last week. Friday maybe Thursday? I think you can go listen to it afterwards too.

Penzy's a fool. A rich fool but non the less a fool

Bingo. Clearly Penzey is doing lines of his 33rd and galena rub

That letter has absolutely nothing to do with trying to sell spices... It's not a business letter.

[Wagonbacker9]

Is it then in your mind a personal letter, are they friends? Sounds to me like they want something... the central tennet of a business letter. Just because its not realted to their 'line of business' doesn't mean it isn't a business letter.

[Lash]

I wasn't inferring that he's trying to sell spices, although he may have LOST customers to this. He went and slapped a political opinion ALL over his companies name. Business 101...

Having a personal opinion between friends and colleagues is one thing....
This is something that never seems to work for anybody.

Seriously...

[Moparjim]

Yeah I do not get it with all the sports teams being pressured to change their names. It is a FLATTERING use of the Indian or other names, how is that racist or whatever? The teams were named things like the Marquette Warriors, Mukwanago Indians, etc because teams are named after things or animals or whatever that have positive attributes that you want associated with the team - its a compliment...

On a side note, the Washington Redskins have been under heavy pressure again lately to change their name...

They are considering removing the WASHINGTON from their name due to the negative reaction it is causing!!!! ;)

[Wagonbacker9]

well, we should definitely go after the vikings, and reference to the "warriors", seminoles, sooners, etc.

They must all be degrading by extension, right?

[BoosTT]

It looks like you can “trade in your spices for an one hour massage”. There is a sign outside of the chiropractor on hwy 83 that says this. LOL.

They put posted the letter on the Penzey website too.
