Dear Everyone,

Letters form words. Words make sentences. Sentences build paragraphs. Paragraphs become letters.

Dear Canada's right-wing blogosphere,

Why do you take so much pleasure in discrediting yourselves and your political views by tacking-on gleeful threats of physical violence?

Am I supposed to take your objections to pedophilia seriously when they're linked to enthusiastic discussions of murder?

Perhaps a plurality of Canadians keep voting Liberal (and a majority shun the Conservatives) because they're just a little bit reluctant to support people who think that sharing their fantasies about killing people is neato.

To centrists, radicals are like icebergs. When scary things like this slip out now and then, regular folks can only assume there's plenty more lurking beneath the water's surface.

In conclusion: The difference between sex with children and sex among teenagers is substantial. Opposing both is fine, but shouting "pedophile!" at people who think the latter ought not to be illegal makes you look pretty foolish.

With befuddlement (and a little fear),
Greg
