Mail bag. Is there, I wonder, some necessary correlation between psycho illiteracy and inattention to timeliness? I get email and comments from sane and generally reasonably intelligent people re only current posts. The psycho illiterates appear from god knows where and drop their free-associative performance pieces in long-dead threads, said missives coming to light only through the good offices of MT's comment-mailing function. This morning's gem:

First of all Semetic people are from the middleast not from America, Northern Europen and Russia. That means Arabs are semtic not just Jews. Most of the anti-anything is about Fundamentalist thinking,Jews,Muslims and Christians. Anyone who beleives they are the only ones who are right will usually kill others without a thought. So we have religious fanatics and political fanatics. A world filled with hate for other cultures,race and religion. Americans might be the worst since they have no real history,culture or religion to bind them together as a people.

It makes less sense in context.

Well, yes, whatever, madame. The best of luck to you in your struggles with time and text!
