I think we ought to offer him the Unabomber as a penpal. It just
seems to me that the 'blame America first' crowd all too easily
mutates to 'bomb America first, then condemn them (but not the
terrorists) when America responds in kind.' Remember that if this
guy had his way, all the women on or off this list would be
bechadored or dead.
