I get a lot of hate mail, most of which is amusing. Seldom is it enlightening. An email I received from a fellow named Stewart provides a rare example of hate mail that is both amusing and enlightening.
Stewart wrote because he was upset with me for my opposition to a new “GBLT Center” at NC State. Actually, it is a new GLBT Center, which causes me to refer to its beneficiaries as “Gilberts.” But if Stewart wants to call it a “GBLT Center” that’s fine. I’ll just refer to them as “Giblets” so I won’t be accused of discriminating against dyslexic homosexuals.
In his email, Stewart the fearless giblet defender said that I was a “bad person” and a “bigot” for not supporting the new Giblet Center at NC State. So I sent him a query (but not a queery) asking him why he thought he was morally superior. His response was classic: “Because I don’t look down on other people.”
In other words, Stewart is morally superior to me because he does not think he is better than me. Somewhere, Rene Descartes is rolling over in his grave. The old maxim, “I think, therefore I am” had a good run for awhile. But a new maxim “I don’t think I am, therefore I am” seems to be taking over in America.
