The envelope please...

A conversation with my state representative, Barney Frank, in 1994

After reading my letter to Barney Frank, read his nonsensical reply below. Quite the philosopher, he. He's about as quick witted debating O'Reilly on Fox today. And this is one of the guys controlling the purse strings on trillions. Yikes. But apparently they love him in Newton, MA.

BTW, the The New American was/is a John Birch Society publication, which I believe is a strict Constitutional organization. I recall I came across their stuff perusing the stacks at the Newton library back in the day.

His response is like Hitler saying, "Since I haven't discussed killing Jews with you before I completely disagree with your classification of me as a mass murderer."
