[Vision2020] Melynda Huskey Charges John Harrell Falsely With Plagrism

[Carl Westberg]

In reading some of the quotes from Mr. Harrell regarding the liberal 
humanist crusade to control the world's children, I must express 
disappointment in myself for being unaware of this.  I, a confirmed liberal, 
without any religious leanings at all, probably fall into that dastardly 
category of evil mind controllers.  And I didn't even know it.  I've just 
been blundering along this summer, watching the Mariners, wondering when 
Tiger Woods is going to break out of his "slump", reading golf books and 
drinking beer.  If someone on this listserve has access to the liberal 
humanist directives I've apparently been missing, would you please forward 
them to me?  I obviously have much catching up to do, and young minds to 
control.  But can I wait until after the fourth of July before I start?  Got 
fireworks and golf to watch first.                                           
                                                                             
                                                                             
                                                                             
              Carl Westberg Jr.
