Sir;... I can appreciate Billy Kristal... I have a book by his mother which seems a well researched and thoughtful book.... What I cannot appreciate is the  New York Times Neurotic Liberal readers... Now; I would not doubt that there are a lot of Liberals who read that rag... On the other hand, as many Liberals, they are likely to be well educated and well paid... And if they make it clear that they are not going to read any conservative non-sense day in and out, or buy their paper, or the products advertized if they publish some one they do not like, writing something they do not want to read, then they are well within their rights... That too is freedom of speech... That too is freedom of expression... It does not make them Neurotic, and I doubt you have near the education to pass such a judgement...But it sounds authoritative, to not only insult the intelligence of your opposition, but to deny their sanity... It kind of cuts yourself out of the middle ground... What else is there in the way of conversation once you have attacked them on the basis of mental disease or disorder??? All it means is that you are not talking to them...You are not engaging with them in deciding the future of the country...Instead, you are talking with others about them, and demeaning their input... But, you put yourself out to exclude others... You draw a line between them and us... You make the space between a no man's land, where decent people fear to go... When we need unity, you sow disunion... Such behavior as you demonstrate is treason... I am not calling you ill...I am not calling you neurotic...I am calling you criminal, and if it were within my authority as a citizen I would arrest you and hand you over to the authorities... We do not know before hand when or if our unity as a nation may be the difference between life and death, or between freedom and slavery; so it should not be destroyed or sold cheap...You wreck our unity for your bread and butter, while another divides us with your help to have great wealth or political power... We need our unity as much for protection against your employer, as against foreign enemies...So, you answer my question: Are the readers of the New York Times within their rights shutting up the mouth of Bill Kristal in the fashion they have???Because freedom of speech is protected, but no one has to give anyone a megaphone...The right likes their Rush, but they can change the channel anytime they get sick of him....Would that make them crazy???Would there be some point in anyone calling them crazy even if they believed it???Instead, when they talk, that is; them, and not Rush, I try to listen...I look for common ground....It is only my obligation because I see that it is, as a citizen; and so should you... Our unity has been bought dear and sold cheap... We need some way to get it back, what ever the price....Thanks...Sweeney
