My country 'tis not of Disney

Thank you so much for your on-target editorial, ``Disney's America,'' June 23. A hallowed historic site is sacred and requires a certain amount of simple gratitude.

I have visited a Civil War prison site and graveyard in Georgia. As I walked about the quiet place where wildflowers bloomed, the memory of the loss of life and hardship for those who served was poignant. The place required no modern amplification, no hype, no noise to impress the senses and interfere with the memory of the past.

May opposition to the Disney Corporation's plans be strong and loud enough to stop what would be a terrible mistake. Paula Caracristi, Sacramento, Calif.
