The Insane Manifesto Of Austin Texas Crash Pilot Joseph Andrew Stack
-Herr Hauer

If I have been of any assistance to you,in whatever small way, I am truly glad to know that.
While I empathise with the author on a number of points, in the article he prescribes violence, and I suppose, thinks of himself as being extremely radical while he does that. Well, the gorts expect Leninist revolutions  and they know how to put them down.
No, I have not turned Gandhian overnight.
You told me once that you spent hours thinking about the square root(negative 1).That ,to me, is what is truly radical.

I once asked you,why must 2+2 always be equal to 4 and not, say,217. I extend the question further, why could 2+2 not be equal to  Emperor Augustus?
This, to my mind, is the truly radical stance.It leaves the gorts flummoxed.

They want us to “Plug and Chug”, use mathematics to solve logistics problems and maybe build e-commerce websites.They do not want you to think about the square root of negative one.

But you do think about it.In fact,I am quite sure that you are irresistibly drawn towards it and would not be able to help yourself even if you were paid a million dollars to keep away from it.

Now,that, Mein Philosop,is what I think( and I have learnt this from you),is what is truly radical.
