Dear Editor:
OK, Mr. Jones, I see you’re still at it, or as Saint Ronnie used to drawl, “There you go again.” I’ll do this one last time; then I’m done and it’s time for you to start embarrassing yourself on a different topic.
First, Mr. Jones, I did not “make the mistake of lying” about anything, and you should be aware that them’s fightin’ words, pardner, so learn some basic manners.
Second, we are all familiar with the sort of person who challenges those who disagree with them to “prove” their case, knowing full well that nothing that can be said will be acceptable as proof because the person’s mind is as closed as a bank on Christmas. It is therefore an exercise in futility to respond to your bogus and childish “challenges.”
However, just this once I will make an exception: I refer you to the cover story in the Dec. 16, 2002 issue of Time Magazine, a lengthy investigative report entitled “Look Who’s Cashing In At Indian Casinos.” With interviews, charts, graphs, and statistics it provides all the proof I need to validate what I have said (that means what I actually said, as opposed to your ludicrous distortions). Now don’t get me wrong (you will anyway); I don’t believe for a moment that any imaginable argument or set of facts will change your mind in the slightest. What puzzles me, however, is why you are going on and on about this. Are you running for office in an Indian government somewhere? Your puerile pedantic pontificating persiflage is past all possible productive parlay.
