Too special for the rules

BRATTLEBORO — The Write Action group sure seems to produce some very entitled writers with scant regard for public safety.

Between Helen Neswald's “I got an unfair speeding ticket for going 19 over” [“Herd behavior on the highway,” Essay, Sept. 14] and Charlene Wakefield's “I was unjustly kicked out of Strolling of the Heifers for trespassing across a well-marked no-go zone” [“A shortcut leads to a writer's banishment,” Essay, July 6], I'd love to hear how they'll justify their unsafe actions when someone actually does get hurt because they were too special for the rules.
