...accusations of anti-Semitism and racism are baseless and offensive. In Josh's quaint reality (where Bill Weld and the HRRA are conservatives), anyone who criticizes one member of a group must detest all member of that group. In that case, the editorial displays an alarming anti-Christian and anti-American bias, for I am a proud member of both groups. The "anti-Semitic strain" you see in my article, Mr. Kaufman, exists only in your head...
...scornfully. "If I had a gun I'd kill him myself." In Russia these days, such remarks are common. The last President of the former Soviet Union is reviled by many of those he once ruled. Free-market liberals disdain his vacillating support for economic reform; Communists and nationalists detest him for his role in ending the empire. No matter. Gorbachev is waging a quixotic race for Russia's presidency and this day is heading 700 miles south of the Kremlin to plead his case in Volgograd...

Randomization, the Great Leap Forward for the social engineers here, should be revoked...

Environmentalists, feminists, homosexuals, criminals, aliens (legal and illegal), communists (though not many are left), liberals, other religions, people of color, government, atheists, welfare mothers, educators, vegetarians -- the list goes on and on. Many of us fit into these categories. How do we stop these vicious random acts of violence? It's simple -- we stop the hate...
