In response to the Nov. 14 editorial, "Feral cat program comes in through the back door," we would have to disagree with the Star-Telegram's opinion.
Instead, what you witnessed was a quintessential example of the democratic process in action: elected officials responding to the expressed will of the electorate.

For example, consider the possible public response if the phrase "feral cat" were replaced by "handgun" in the ordinance in question. It is likely that two sides would also form on the sides of this question, and a compromise would then be sought.Not of equal impact or import, you might say.
