Hateful email

Well, I suppose it had to happen to me sooner or later, but this morning I received the most hateful and hate-filled email from something called “The Akurians” that I have ever had in my inbox. I’m sure it must be an email sent out “en masse” since it’s not directed to me personally. It is a “prophecy” about the end times which will come upon the US if we elect Sen. Obama. Ugh. I feel like I’ve touched/smelled something that is rotting and I can’t get the feel of it out of my fingers and nose…

Instead, I want to point back to something I wrote last March, which linked to an essay by Michael Chabon. HOPE MATTERS and I refuse to allow vile obscenity to choke out my hope.
