When James Raymond calls me Mr. Feces, he really shows just what a class act he is as a human being and just how morally and intellectually evolved these ignorant, hypocritical Christ worshippers actually are. I believe, sir, that you are confusing me with the foul, putrid substance that fills that ugly, useless skull of yours. Are you saying that the governor of Alaska, which incidentally has within it many modern cities, not just primitive igloo villages, is so starved for food that she kills wildlife out of sheer necessity? Are you serious about this frontier woman crap? (Sarah) Palin is a cruel and vicious moron and you Raymond are a pathetically stupid and lame excuse for a man. By the way there is not a single verified reported case of a wolf ever killing a human being in the entire history of our country. Unlike you, wolves are beautiful and noble creatures and we should be protecting them not slaughtering them. So I actually would rather meet up with one of them than the likes of you and your kind. I would very much rather see you meet face to face with a loaded high-powered rifle instead of an innocent animal. And by the way I’m not an atheist, I’m a pagan and yes I’m a tofu-eating tree-hugging vegan and proud of it.

Terrible letter against McCain

I’m very annoyed at this letter. I can’t believe you put it in the paper in the Sound Off on page 12 and 13 of Friday, Oct. 3 paper. Please do not deliver this paper to me anymore. This was the letter saying Say not to McCain by Phil Patti. I think it is deplorable that you put a letter with that kind of talk in your newspaper.

Clearing things up

If there’s an idiots’ club writing to the Clifton Journal forum, James Raymond’s mental capacity wouldn’t reach the level needed to gain admittance. Judging by his diatribe in the Oct. 3 issue, neither (Walt) Jankowski, (Phil) Patti, or (Beverly) Wardell need me to defend them. All of them are intellectual giants compared to Raymond but I’ll give my opinion anyhow. (George) Bush has a 26 percent approval rating in the country. So the anti-Bush club must be pretty big. Jankowski never called for disbanding the Army, Navy and Air Force. The defense industry should be called the offense industry. It is the leading supplier of military weapons around the world. Raymond is worried about Russia and China. The U.S. has bases all over the world like the Roman Empire. It’s not Phil Patti who’s unpatriotic, it’s people like Raymond who want blind loyalty to a scum who uses American military to settle a personal vendetta at the cost of 4,175 U.S. military. Raymond’s use of quotation "Mr. Feces" has his name for Patti, makes me wonder if he’s out of his teens, not to insult teens.

The good and the bad

I would like to add to the lists of complaints about the DPW of Clifton. I’ve had numerous run-ins with the guys. Truck V1 – they kick the lids off the grass cans while still on the back of the truck instead of getting off the truck. They throw the cans across the yards and in the streets. If you ride behind them you are in danger because I’ve actually seem them go into people’s yards for their garbage and grass clippings. They should not be allowed. The people should be able to put the grass on the curb or it shouldn’t get picked up at all. There’s a paper truck, No. 77, - that man who drives the truck is a very, considerate gentleman. He always waves on our recycle day. He always has a smile. I’ve seen him throughout the City and always polite. If there were more nice men like the driver of truck 77 we would write compliments not complaints. Good job for driver No. 77. And I’ve also seen neighbors give out beer to come and get their grass clippings. I’ve seen street sweepers running with their engines on, talking on cell phones for half an hour. I’ve talked to (Al) Greco himself. He said he was going to check into it and I don’t believe anything was ever done because I still see the same guy on the same cell phone. So maybe Clifton should start getting involved with the DPW gentleman. For the good ones like truck 77, I think that man should deserve an award.
