To the editor:

To answer your questions, Peter Elsemore, I didn’t personally watch the Salem witch trials, the Nazi Rassenschande prosecutions, Southern lynchings, or the McCarthy hearings either, yet I can still say with absolute certainty long after they occurred that they all were travesties of justice — solely based on their infamous invidious intent and lack of due process.

You nearly lost me at “I didn’t personally watch the Salem witch trials”. None the less, one need not consider for long which side you would have taken had you been alive at the time. The simple fact that you were fooled and conned does not make one an idiot. What makes one an idiot is when that person blatantly refuses to look at the truth and makes the conscious decision to believe lies. It would be sad, if it were not so pathetic and obvious. Willful blindness is a state of mind Mr. Pietrangelo has perfected.

Brilliantly said, sir. Your common sense statement is refreshing in the midst of the political madness all about us that seeks to consume and destroy our country.
