editor, good choice today, I can't wipe the smile off my face, too funny -- Mike, Norwalk
MR. HEARST'S MOTHER SHOULD HAVE HAD AN ABORTION!!!! -- Me Again
Ignorance and racism. -- J Carlton, Calgary

Almost too rediculous to respond to. LEAP.CC -- jim k, austin,tx
Good example of what kind of ignorance was thought to be Intellectual thought. What may we think 60 years from now about what is thought today about our perceived problems? I guarantee you we will look foolish on many things that we now hold to be true. -- warren, olathe
There are no words in human language than can quite express how I feel towards Mr. Hearst, Mr. Anslinger, and many others for their outright lies that they told to the American public and were allowed to get away with including doing things that were against the Bill of Rights -- J. Johnson, Menasha
