Pop-Up Killer
[Regarding P. Nicolai's Backtalk letter, "Popup Ads":]
Go to yahoo and type in "pop-up killer." It will save a lot of trouble and it is free!

Clay
It is very encouraging to finally read a factual essay on FDR and his "New Deal" administration. I grew up in the 1930s and was not sufficiently mature in the early 1940s to take any stand. I was carried away by the glory and excitement of the times and signed up for the US Army during WWII. Although my experiences were nowhere as bad as they could have been, the duplicity of the FDR administration visited tragic consequences on many, many people. Now, it seems almost impossible that members of that administration could [have been] so unmindful of the consequences of their actions that they were actually able to proceed toward their political objectives and were still able to consider themselves human beings. I suppose the infantile justification that "the ends justify the means" was the prevailing credo.
…Keep up the good work. There are a lot of political leaders whose "feet of clay" need to be revealed – as well as the "brains of clay" of those who support them!

The Deal
My dad always has referred to FDR's "New Deal" as "The Raw Deal." Now I know what he meant!
