Regarding Unabomer: Not That Bad A Guy
Jill,
Your Unabomer essay sucks the preverbial bratwurst, and let me tell you
why. Teddy used his bombs to off some of the best technical minds of
our time. He bombed the kind of folks that make stuff like the Internet
and sludge-filled e-zines like Spite possible. Look, I wouldn't have
minded too much if he sent a package to those fine folks at Dow Chemical
who developed DDT, Agent Orange, and silicone breast implants. But,
nooo.
Then the S.O.B. calls it quits on the trial and I'm left with 200, "Ted
Kaczynski blew my f-ing arm off and all I got was this lousy T-shirt,"
T-shirts. The bastard.
If he had to send "special packages" to someone, why the scientific ilk?
Personally, I think if you're going to be an insane ex-math professor
who builds bombs, have some taste. Wait for David Hasslehoff to enter
the recording studio, and ...
By the way, I'm not a scientist, or a doctor, although I have played the
latter on several occasions.
Don't be sending me any unmarked packages. Not that I think you would
send a bomb. Just wouldn't want to get it confused with my pornograpy.
Thanks,
Eric
Um, are you related to Jill? And are you upset at the Unabomber for blowing people up, or just blowing the wrong people up? Because it's comforting to know we're attracting the attention of complete sociopaths. -ed.
