Elan Journo, Re: (Elan Journo’s) “Taking the fight to the enemy is needed” (column) in the Santa Monica Daily Press on April 11: I’m so frustrated and infuriated by (his) article and lack of understanding in human nature or our ability to evolve, I don’t even know where to begin to write a rebuttal... anyway, it’s obviously futile. (His) bad attitude is the philosophy of hate and discrimination, just like the Islamic fundamentalists, and neither one is capable of stepping back and looking objectively and rationally at the situation. (Journo’s) ranks are rising, and the rest of us are in big trouble, me thinks.
