About a year ago I condemned white men for slaughtering African elephants to near extinction and using their tusks to make piano keys. Eric Bahrt said my letter was the dumbest he had ever read. It hurt then and it still hurts now. Now he refers to letter-writers whose opinions are opposed to his as “clowns” and “thick skulls”. Oh well.
Meanwhile, I doubt the veracity of his story about being bitten by a stray dog. But, if it was true, I’m worried for that poor dog. Did someone take it to a veterinarian for a thorough check-up?
Finally, if I sit in a coffee shop and a dog jumps on my lap, I’ll kick the hell out of the SOB and its owner too, unless his name happens to be Buakhao Banchamek. I don’t give a hoot how little or cute the damned mutt is.
Eric sure needs protein from meat, fish, eggs and especially milk to keep his brain functioning right.
