Sir,

It matters not whether Zola or Clemenceau were Jews. What does matter is that they were first af all human beings and as such they were "Humane" beings as the Frenchmen were not.

Second: If you find my character to be egregious it is prehaps that you see reflected in me all that you would put upon the world.

Third: If your middle name is truly Winston then prehaps you would demonstrate his wit by not constantly arguing with me. You have nothing to win by it.

Fourth: The only thing sacrificed in faith is the blindness of refusing to see the light. The path and the guide have no meaning once the destination is in sight. While it is true that one must be a tail before he can become a head It is not necessary for one to suffer the offensive flatulence of the orifice that stands before it. It is not only that which you put into your mouth which can harm you it is also all of that which comes out of your mouth. One word spoken created the world. One word spoken will destroy it.
