Why we absolutely need the Eric Bahrts of the world
Play
Eric Bahrt’s letters may be hard hitting and even nasty, but can anyone show me anything he’s ever written that wasn’t accurate?
People like Eric, who have an intense hatred for cruelty and irrational thinking, often have difficulty keeping their emotions in check. But I prefer that personality to the typical person who is afraid to stand up on controversial issues out of fear of stepping on people’s toes. The world would be a better place if we had more Erics, even if such individuals are not the most diplomatic people in the world.
