4. Card - a quack, a whack, and a hack. . .

If you really really THINK about this book - it advocates complete and total violence. JUSTIFIED, of course. But still - annihilation of the enemy.

How more Republican can you get?

Not to mention that he's a warmongiering whack job who is virulently anti-gay. He doesn't really like women very much either from what I understand. He's a self-important piece of ____ who has no respect for ANYONE.

I really liked him til I met him and heard him give a speech that was very right-wing crackpot radical.

He's also more than a bit creepy at times. Think about it - the guy having sex with the 12 year old "astrally projected" of course. The guy killing his ghost girlfriend's killer so she could have her body. And then there's Wyrms. I have totally blocked whatever it was that was so awful it made me actually throw the book in the trash (sacrilege!) - but I remember it was very very disgusting and disturbing. (And no, I do not want to be reminded of whatever it was - it must have been pretty bad for me to totally block it.)

DO NOT SUPPORT THIS MAN IN ANY WAY. EVER. No movies. No books. No used books. Nothing. Destroy everything he ever wrote because it infects people with his crackpot ideas. His "Christ complex" his misogyny, his creepy creepy views, and his right-wing dogma.
