Michael,

I do hope that you still maintian that neato website of yours so that you can
add mine to the "fanmail" that you appear so proud of... With that said, I just
wanted to write to tell you that the quote below is quite possibly the stupidest
thing that I stumbled across during the hour or so of my time that I wasted
browsing "your" website (Which, if I might mention, is conspicuously devoid of
any work that appears to be your own - any asshat can compile a list of
inspirational quotes and links to rants - aka - "recommended reading" for his
"fans"😉 But then, I do own a mountainbike - so maybe I just don't understand -
right?

"If I had known how many birds and other animals are killed by cats, even well
fed ones, I probably would never have chosen to adopt them. But that doesn't
prevent road kill from being one of mankind's greatest stupidities."

You are a fruitloop, plain and simple. Life feeds on life. It saddens me that I
have to be the one to break this to you, a man who tacks a "PhD" to the end of
his name (to add that imporant air of credibility - perhaps?). Now I realize
that it is a possibility that Bob the cat was not yours (though I prefer to
think that it was you who suffered from his loss 10 years ago), but I could not
help but gasp (and laugh) incredulously at the notion that said cat was driven
by some malevolent force to kill for sport and was therefore not worthy of being
in your presence.

The one thing that inspired me about your website(s) is the fact that those
snippets of thought therein that actually appear to have originated in that
cinderblock (gasp!) head of yours appear to be so far off of the map of the
collective consciousness that they completely and utterly smash any hope you
might have of making a point with the thinking person.

Thanks for the laugh - you pompous, self absorbed, retro grouch [censored], I think
that I will now go ride my mountainbike here in the mountains of good ol'
Colorado, after which I'll hop into my SUV and make my 40 mile commute home from
work - hoping all the while that my e-mail irritated your sorry ass enough to
make you die of a heartattack while crouched indoors, at a desk, basking in the
man-made light of your computer monitor. 😉

Most sincerely,

Josh

years fighting auto dependence and road construction.)
