I will keep this brief. I have two questions. 1. Why did you choose to handle this matter in such a way that you ignored the normal channels which have worked perfectly well for other situations? 2. Why have you not yet responded to counter-arguments or questions? That second question is particularly important to me. An answer along the lines of "I am busy" will not work. Any action like that one you have taken should have been undertaken only after a lot of thought. If you had time for that much thought, you had time to answer the questions. If you did not have time to answer the questions, you did not have time for the thought. And if you took this action without thinking about the issues which have been raised, then you, my friend, are part of the kind of mentality which sent six million to the gas chambers. Perhaps you would not send Jews, but you would send someone. And I have no doubt you would be just as high-handed, just as self-assured, and just as super-sanctimonious about your clean-up operation as the Nazis were about theirs. For the rest of your life, when you even consider criticising the Nazis for shutting down Jewish papers, I hope bells ring in your conscience. I hope bells ring so loud that people next to you pick up phones. -- ============================================================================= -Trish "We're forced to begin in the midst of the hardest movement..." skyler@ecsvax.uncecs.edu -A.
