I would like to suggest something that may seem radical to some, and not
so radical to others, and that is that Mr. Fostel is the psychotic and
not Mrs. Kirkpatrick.

The first evidence I would like to site in this argument is that he is
obviously schizophrenic: he can spell psychotic, but not many of the
rest of the words in his message.

But seriously. The book-burning attitude his message espouses is of the
vilest and most obscene sort. It is the attitute of Facism. It is an
attitude that validates the semi-literate rantings of the uninformed. It
is an attitude that ignores the lessons of history. It is Khomeni,
Hitler, Stalin all rolled into one: the triumph of the addled mind. It
is the flamings of the upper-middle-class radical, of the sort of person
who would be among the first to be shot if his beloved revolution came
here.

I really do wish that flamers of the ilk of Mr. Fostel would take their
own views to their logical conclusion and take up arms in their cause.
Then this country would have an practical lesson in identfying the
mentality that begat the Baader-Meinhof gang and the Red Brigades.

No Cheer at All,

Oh dear. Even I seem to have forgotten the SLA. How very depressing.
