Nope,
I got better things to do than to spend time and/or money getting to know
Wilson and his views, I am happy with mine as are 95% of the people in Moscow.
You are promoting to people to read his book? I would not even know his book
existed if it were not for the people against Wilson. I think advertising
alternative forms of religion or philosophy is exactly what many young college
students are looking for. You advertising of the organization only does two
things. One, it raises attention to young college students in here trying to find
themselves. Two, it sells more books for Mr. Wilson funding his ideology.
Listen, people that live in this town know of Mr. Wilson, and the majority
just avoid and ignore him. You are just giving more attention to this man than
is needed and are making sound like he is a huge group of mainstream Moscow
citizens. This hurts Moscow. Moscow is not going to become a conservative town.
It is educated and we don't need people like you telling us how to think, act,
or behave, anymore than we need Mr. Wilson telling us how to think.
I would move my efforts to fighting discrimination against gays and lesbians,
women, religious and ethnic minorities, the disabled, and the elderly. I
would also be fighting for better public education, fair taxation (not over taxing
the poor), more help for the poor, and freeing innocent Muslims and Middle
Easterners, like Sami, from unjust imprisonment. These are things that make a
difference in people's lives.
This would go directly against most of the things that Mr. Wilson is doing
and not give attention to Mr. Wilson. It would unarm him, not arm him like you
are doing.
Mr. Wilson is playing you like a drum, and you don't even know it. You should
set the agenda. Instead, Mr. Wilson is setting the agenda and you are
reacting to him. Thus, he has control over what you do. For someone that doesn't like
Mr. Wilson, you are just as much a follower of him. You follow his every lead.
With Respect,
Donovan J Arnold
