Dear Mr. Fisch-
                Your post, “Denver Post: No More Horoscopes,” receives my full-backed agreement.  As a fairly large and powerful news outlet, the Denver Post has a responsibility to inform citizens on key events and speculation.  As Mr. Fisch stated, the Denver Post dedicated 260 square centimeters to horoscopes.  I agree that this space should be replaced by topics that actually benefit society, for example science.  When I read that one out of four Americans believe in Astrology, it definitely shocked me.  As clearly shown, the Denver Post’s main focus is profit (like many organizations) so then again, maybe it really isn’t surprising that the Denver Post adds things like horoscopes to their newspapers, rather than “dull” science.  The majority of us agree that the Denver Post should do what is right, as Mr. Fisch pushes, but would the Denver Post really risk profit in order to do what is right?
