Dear Chris:
I understand your frustration, however, it is not our job to cure the ills
of this world. I have zero interest in "taking on" people like this. That
is not what I do. I suppose after taking on him, I could take on those
who are disrupting funerals of family members burying their war dead.
Then maybe I could join Dr. Kennedy's program to "Reclaim America,"
or some other such unscriptural nonsense. I know what I am doing, Chris,
and this is what I intend to continue doing.
God be with you,
Ray
