I will take the more earthy approach. Mormons are the 2nd or 3rd most discriminated-against religion in recent history. Other religions assume, probably correctly, that god would not talk to a man named Smith- obviously an alias of some kind. I am glad tolerance has been a by-product of their abuse. Mormons want multiple spouses- gays and lesbians want one. When was the last time we had to rescue children from a group of lesbians and gays that had a fetish for under-age children? Which religion took forever to recognize blacks as real people, a process they have not finished? Those who live in glass temples should not throw stones, especially when they just made up a Book of the Bible. After all, who taught god top speak English, n'est pas? And nobody named Smith in the 1800s could speak Hebrew. I am sure your god will be very proud of you if you ever actually get to stand in front of her. Frankly, I don't think you will ever get out of the bullpen, which is a perfect place for your bigoted opinions. My good friend Jeremy did the eloquent thing (above).

I find this really upsetting. Had you asked me 2 minutes ago, I would have said that Card was one of my favorite authors. I really connected with the Ender series. The books talk about the isolation and loneliness of being different, the possibility of forming your own family when your biological family fails you, and the challenges and ultimate strength of learning to coexist with people radically different from yourself. Like I do with a lot of authors whose works have influenced me, I feel like I had a personal relationship with Card. Now I'm feeling betrayed and angry. Rationally, I'd like to say that I can still appreciate the stories and ideas expressed in the books that I have loved. But I'd feel like a traitor to myself and my kind to have another cent of my money go toward a man who says he'd rather start a civil war than allow me to live my life on my terms in peace. Do I throw the baby out with the bathwater? Wow. I find this really upsetting. Had you asked me 2 minutes ago, I would have said that Card was one of my favorite authors.

If he had his way, about 40% of all Americans would spend life in prison just for the GLBT ways. I suggest Card move to Iran, sounds like he would be a happy camper there. Of course, Card, to use the technical medical term, is bat-shit crazy.

This type of statement guarantees that there will be a file on him and he will be closely watched in the future to see if he is acting on these threats. You may find this kind of government monitoring disturbing. However, in the event an action is taken against the government the first thing Congress will inquire about is why an individual wasn't being followed if they had made previous threats against the government. Think of this list as CYA. The Secret Service is one of the prime entities charged with monitoring suspicious people. This is a good thing to keep in mind before you post your rants, and remember, always post sober. People who make threats against the government are generally crazy.

Even politicians can't be asked to respond to every nut case in their religion, it would be like asking Joe Biden to respond to every utterance of the Catholic League.

Maybe we'll have to revisit our agreements with his publisher. In the interim, I'm certainly not featuring any of his books in my store. Wow, I work for a major bookstore chain.
