To the Editor:

In response to last week’s column titled ‘‘‘Young, Old and the Restless’ Glosses Over U.S. Problems” – the question of “Have we devolved into roving vigilantes and/or anarchists?” shows the writer has forgotten our own story.

The United States of America was founded by vigilantes and anarchists who knew that you continue to escalate your efforts until a change occurs. We are a country that began with a revolution. We fought a civil war.
