Words of wisdom?
font: small med large

“Jewelry is something which can make even an ugly one beautiful.”
Seriously? I must be missing something here. Is this the best you can cull from the wisdom of the Ladinos (Ladino Lesson, Nov. 19)?
I am appalled that something so trite and offensive would appear in our community newspaper. What exactly is the point of this Ladino lesson? Should we look for someone ugly to buy jewelry for? And exactly who is it that is playing God and deciding who is ugly and who is not? How about something to inspire? To uplift? To make us think? This was none of that.
