DEAR EDITOR:

Even though Halloween is over, at least one local letter writer to The Dispatch is not shy to use her own “scare tactics” when it comes to bashing those who are not tolerant to her own intolerance. Case in point this time is Ms. Kristine Dillon’s letter of Nov. 1. Poor lady.

By her own words, it seems she’s running around scared in Gilroy because in her liberal mind, myself and some others that she names (Mayor Tom Springer, Cynthia Walker, Alan Viarengo et. al.) are the boogey-persons that are causing her to have a horrible dream, vis-à-vis a “… new (adult) club (that) wants everyone to believe the same …”

Oh, how horrible! It must be a “right-wing” conspiracy, that like a brain-sucking alien in a sci-fi movie, is trying to mold everyone in Gilroy into the same mindless mold.

It seems that in her mind, wanting everyone to believe “the same” is the old narrow inhibited conservative way of belief that is totally out of tune with a moral relativist like Ms. Dillon. As she wrote “… the one that is trying to tell everyone what to think how to act, and what “higher authority” governs our lives?”

Drop the smokescreen Ms. Dillon. Isn’t it true that you really don’t believe in moral absolutes? Isn’t it true that for you, “truth” is what you feel? Isn’t it true that for you there really is no “evil,” and right and wrong is a concept that is based upon whatever you want to believe for you?

Fess up, Ms. Dillon, raise the flag of what you really believe, and don’t hide behind scare tactics that children might believe but thinking adults should not, by arguing a false dichotomy to make the reader choose “A” or “B” when in reality there are more options than what you raise.

In summary conclusion, I think the point was that for those of us who live in Gilroy and who do care about positive morals and family values (apparently something you don’t care about) in OUR community, then a sex club can go operate someplace else.
