Today, I discovered your web site. The site illustrates a
killing spree. The mail you receive is an indication that
this can bring out the worst in people rather than the best.
Many of the letters are poorly composed, but you need not take
advantage by getting in the last word as you often
do. You have gotten your say by way of your web site. Have the
decency to allow your public to express opinions. Most of them
seem honestly thought through by those who surely have a right
to react according their conscience. They may very well have
done their homework, something like this:
1) made a good effort to acquire as much information about
the subject as possible,
2) tried to organize the information into self-knowledge,
3) thought deeply about the implications and consequences
of this knowledge in their personal attempt to find wisdom. |

Come
on Rod, you’re kidding right? You might want to do a
“reading for understanding” homework assignment and go back
over what is posted on our web site in relation to your 3
points above. We couldn’t find a worse example of “a good
effort to acquire as much information about the subject as
possible” without visiting an Al-Qaeda recruitment rally.
And I think you’re missing the core problem with the animal
rights argument (and most liberal arguments in general),
namely that they haven’t “thought deeply” about the subject
at all, but have “felt deeply” about it instead. And as we
all know, if you feel deeply enough about something, it must
be true, and no mountain of facts to the contrary are going
to change your mind!
Do we sometimes bring the
worst out in people? Maybe. But after reading the non-stop
string of vile and disgusting insults and threats thrown our
way, you’ve really got to have a “brass set” to insinuate
that we didn’t have the decency to allow the public to
express their opinions. Hell, much more “expressing” and our
staff would qualify for the Federal Witness Protection
Program.
So why don’t you
remove those rose colored glasses and take a second look at
the series of train wrecks that the ARA crowd has written
“according to their conscience” in their “personal attempt
to find wisdom”. Be careful though, it could bring out the
worst in you. Oops, I guess we got in the last word again. |
