Similarly, his defense of eugenic mass murder (see previous post) was made in forums that made it obvious he was not kidding. And I didn't even get into his life-long insistence that Shakespeare couldn't write good plays!Lester Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14746157071827337723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22657443.post-31017604442894750362010-09-28T13:58:56.203-05:002010-09-28T13:58:56.203-05:00hahaha - these are jokes and off-hand witticisms; ...hahaha - these are jokes and off-hand witticisms; turn in your things and go home, ProfessorAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
