It's just a camera.....
August 14, 2009
A couple of years ago, I wrote a short piece arguing that not all wives and mothers were cut out to homeschool. As a result, I received a note threatening terminal physical violence against me if ever I showed up in a certain part of the country. Of course, I could not resist spoofing such a nasty note -- it was unworthy of anyone claiming to be Christian -- which then, in typical American internet Christian style, precipitated an email from some character outraged that I would spoof such, not apparently concerned that someone in his homeschooling community had made the threat in the first place (I deserved to die was the conclusion I drew from the correspondence). Well, apparently it is not just professing Christians who have no sense of priorities, too much time on their hands, and who use the web to spread their nuttiness. The ever vigilant, ever glamorous Emma Peel has brought this piece to my attention. Especially for all those `thriteen foot' people on the internet out there.
