This college newspaper site has the FULL seven letter text of the letter. Yep, he's a Unabomber type. A must read, IMO. Also can view pics of the letter. Wonder if he's ever been to Trenton, N.J....

[Utah Girl]

Everyone in the state of Utah was warned this morning to open our mailbox doors if the mailboxes are curbside. The mail carriers won't deliver mail to closed mailboxes on the curb...

Oh man, you have to read the essay. No such thing as death....

[OKSooner]

A five star nutcake, if you ax me. I'm sorry for his family.

[Registered]

Dreams are a key element to understanding reality...uhuh....

[Shermy]

My first impression, it reads like the Unabomber. "common sense" against "book smarts" (like the "leftists" Ted complained about.) But instead of Kaczynski's complaints about the art of parenting, this guy "philosophizes" about death and spirituality. And he has a smaller gripe about grades in school. Doesn't sem to have parent issues.

[Senator Pardek]

There's no way that's Vince Foster's handwriting.

Sounds like a Buddhist anarchist. Wasn't the Unabomber one of those touchy feely consciousness raising, gotta love the earth types? Luke Helder's role model.

"I will die/change in the end for this, but that's ok, hahaha paradise awaits!"

I wonder what Ma and Pa think of that Theology...

[What Is Ain't]

An Al Gore intellectual.

Gag.

[Shermy]

It sounds a lot like the Unabomber. Psychological talk, control, technology, society, etc. One difference is the focus on spirtuality, astral projections and the like. I recall Ted didn't have that.

"I will die/change in the end for this, but that's ok, hahaha paradise awaits!"

The guys awaiting in the cell block hardly seem like paradise...but to each his own, I guess.

>Oh man, you have to read the essay. No such thing as death....

I don't have the energy for it, but somebody should create an index for this thing...

Wow. Global warming. Out-of-body experiences. Drugs.

This is a sad, gullible young guy who believed all the theosophy crap some new age guru/Castaneda type kook dished out, and actually tried to act on the crazy prattle rather than just talking about it with some equally Taos lover.

Again, we see left wing nonsense wrecking lives. And, sadly, the media doesn't even play up the nature of this kid's oddball beliefs... And someone should go give Shirley MacLaine a kick in the ass for good measure because not much of what this guy says is missing from her books, too...

Good precaution. Hard to believe he wouldn't have left any there, unless he was limiting himself to the SFT. (Smiley Face Theory)

[Snake65]

I wonder where Mr. "Common Sense" here picked up up that weird cosmology? The pro-pot tirade at the end was a hoot, especially the part about how it increases mental activity.

This is a must-read. Turgid, but funny.

WING NUT

[moyden]

Typical idiot liberal.

Every liberal is a brutal, violent thug.

[colorado tanker]

Well, didn't he know he's not supposed to actually act on that metaphysical nonsense? He's just supposed to buy more of their books and tapes.

My first comment was that this kid has serious mental problems.......my husband just wants to cane him.........
