Special Edition: Secret Agent Orange
Hello! Special Agent Orange here, on loan from Her Majesty's Secret Service. Welcome to another special edition of Hate Mail! Well, actually it's the first special edition, and I'm here to introduce it because it's all about me, Agent Orange. All of the following correspondence is linked and all began with the first letter presented.
Here’s the PUKES Name and . . . Oops!
From: [omitted]@soft-vision.com To All AOVets -- here is the PUKES [sic] name and address and phone .. to the best of my quick investigation. I think some one [sic] needs to dump some AO [Agent Orange] on he [sic] and his family. After all -- [sic] it's a HOAX -- and if so he has nothing to worry about.
Michael Fumento and believe it or not he convinced some poor gal with my last name to work for him Mary Oliver technique@COMPUSERVE.COM
AOVets? Is the “AO” for “Anal Orifice?” Apparently your “quick investigation” was so quick it assumed that I live on a street with no city or state attached to it. It was also too quick to realize they stopped making Agent Orange decades ago. Get a life, and leave other people's lives alone.
Sincerely,
New address for a**hole fumento ... he gave it to me below as well as his sexual preference. Wherefore, he is open to discuss the issue. mailto:Mfumento1@cs.com For those not familiar with Ms. fagmento he writes junk science, ( without credentials mind you) and opposes Veterans [sic] who claim Agent Orange ( dioxins) or Gulf War Syndrome -- are a figment [sic] of ones [sic] imagination. The EPA is wrong.. the many schollars [sic] who have drawn conculsions [sic] based on scientific evidence all have their head [sic] in the sand.
No, I didn’t invite conversation. I just asked you to get a life and drew attention to your status of being gray matter-challenged.
Sincerely,
My Heirs Are on My PalmsFrom: castle22@[omitted] Ms. Fumento, I had a chance to look at your web page, my question to you is what branch of service did you serve in? Are you a Veteran [sic]? I will get to the point, you either were a draft dodger or a coward. While the Grunts [sic] were fighting, were you playing with little boys?
Morons like you have the freedom to write lies, because of the 27 million Veterans [sic] in this country that you are stabbing in the back. Where can we hear you speak? You are a coward with a cowards [sic] message. It is obvious you have had your brain washed to (to) many times. It is kinda like growing heir [sic] on your palms. Do us all a favor, POP yourself! Fire for Effect! Don't worry you will miss [sic], you are a coward. This discussion is open, do you have the time between comedy clubs? It is safe to join the military now, you don't have to tell them your [sic] a peter puffer.
Please write back to me after that nice lady in the white clothes comes by to give you your pill.
Sincerely, He Gave Up His Brain for Our Precious Freedoms and RightsM. Fumento,
Try a visit to a VA cancer ward or better yet a trip to a National Cemetary [sic] and look at the carnage that occurs here at home due to the use of dioxin, I guess the EPA, Love Canal and Stringfellow [Superfund Site in Riverside County] in California are all figments of our imagination as well as a company called Bio-tech in Houston who manufactured the Gulf War Vaccines [sic] that all got sick from. Bio-Tech was a store front for CIA covert bio warfare agents, CIA front company. Get real, do not profit from the obvious suffering of Veterans [sic] that gave all for your precious freedoms and rights. As for anal, yes, if you choose to profit from your bogus conclusions, you have your head so far up your a** that you will never see daylight.
John [omitted]
I was unaware that tombstones in national cemeteries listed the cause of death, as in “Here lies Joe Jones, choked to death on a peanut butter sandwich.” By the way, you call yourself a “Proud” [sic] member of the NVO. Am I correct in thinking that’s a typo and that you meant “NVA,” as in “North Vietnamese Army?”
Sincerely,
Listen,
MDo [sic] your homework , Look up Operation Firestop then make comments. As for your disrespect of my service, fuck off. I am a 100% sevice [sic] connected Veteran [sic] that will always be far better than piss-ant [sic] asses such as yourself Get fucked
You tell me that “your ass in now on my list” and insist that I “get fucked.” Sounds like I’d better booby-trap my tush so that a former NVA soldier doesn’t get any ideas about using his entrenching tool.
Sincerely, Your mother obviously sucked too many cocks while pregnant with your gay ass. Are you experiencing mental difficulties due to a chemical imbalance ???? Any one [sic] that refers to so many anal references [sic] must be a faggot and a loser.
Sincerely,
enough, The [sic] NVO is National Veterans Organization, All [sic] that is intended is that you look at all the facts before you print a paper that disrespects Veterans [sic] who have died and are passing away at an alarming rate. I do not intend to continue your insult game which I fell for becoming involved with [sic], Just [sic] look at all the facts or be prepared to face the heat for inconclusive data. John [omitted]
Sincerely, references,
What are your references ? John [omitted]
Sincerely, [For some reason I never heard from this fellow again.]
Quilts of FearsHey, I have been reading your e-mail to AOVF-In-Touch, how dare you call A/O Vets Anal Orifices. I happen to be a widow of an Agent Orange victim and I resent [sic] your accusation. My husband died with cancer in ten parts of body [sic], you sound like the VA in saying Agent Orange did not do that to him. Have you lost your mind? [No, but sometimes it is tempting.]
I happen to know for a fact that 93,00 Vietnam Veterans [sic] have submitted Agent Orange claims to the VA, are you saying they are all wrong. I think not. If for just one instance, you walked in their shoes or those of their familes, you would understand just how wrong you are. I am known as the Quilts of Tears Lady and display the quilts that honor Agent Orange victims, those both living and dead. If you have any guts come forward to one of these displays and look at the faces of these people on the quilts and tell me they are wrong. I will be pleased to tell where the next display will be. And be sure and face the families of the victims as well and tell them that they and their loved ones are liars. I can't believe my husband served in the Korean and Vietnam War to protect poeple [sic] like you.By the way, you must had [sic] snuck into the AOVF-on-Touch [Three paragraphs ago it was "In-Touch."] talk group, yes, I picked up right away that you said Joe forgot to include your city and state. People who ease drop [sic] on other people's e-mail to make fun of them must have something wrong with them.
I can tell you are not well versed in Veterans issues, [sic] just read your reponse [sic] to John [omitted], stating NVO was a typo,.for your information NVO stands for National Veterans Organizations. What insult you made [sic] to an honorable veteran, North Vietnam, indeed. How insulting. We do not need your kind in our midst. Go away and leave us alone. We have our own battles to fight and we will not waste our time on the likes of you. Sure you don't work for the VA [sic], makes us wonder. [omitted] Le Fevre
You are aptly named. Your feverish condition is the best explanation for why you concluded that I “had snuck into the AOVF-on-Touch talk group,” and was “ease drop[ping] on other people's e-mail,” even though you’ve seen a copy of the original letter telling your group to flame me. Now that they are doing so and I’m striking back, you wail “Go away and leave us alone.” Why don’t you consider leaving the country alone, “Quilts of Tears Lady”? Look, there are three million Vietnam vets. According to the American Cancer Society, about one American in four will die of cancer. That means we can expect 750,000 Vietnam vets to die of cancer with no need to invoke Agent Orange or any other special explanation. That your husband also served in the Korean War indicates he didn’t exactly die as a kid. No official study, including the on-going one of Ranchhanders who did the spraying, has ever found a cancer elevation in Vietnam vets who actually served in the country. I needn’t trot out my myriad articles and book chapters on Agent Orange to indicate that I know a bit more about it than you; your inability to even spell “dioxin” makes the case nicely. All you and your fellow loonies are doing is trying to terrify the brave men and women who served this nation in a thankless war. You should be called the “Quilts of Fears Lady.”
Sincerely, I have had my say, I do not have the time to waste on the likes of you. [omitted] Le Fevre
The Skeptical Mr. FurmentoJoe [a third party]:
[female name omitted] Young
Or should I just refer to you together as “Mighty Joe Young”? By your logic, if a California jury cleared O.J. Simpson of his alleged double homicide, then as a matter of fact, and not just of law, O.J. Simpson must be not guilty. You may well believe that. Problem is, in a civil trial, O.J. lost. Are you confused? Or is it only now dawning on you that 12 people from various walks of life sitting on a jury are not the last word on whether exposure to a certain chemical causes illness.
Sincerely, Mr. Fumento: Also, FYI, pesticide and dioxin for all intents and purposes in this particular case are one in the same.....or what part of Agent Orange (2,4D-T) and 2,4D can't you comprehend or connect? The connection is that they are in the same family of "pesticide"/"dioxin", causes of illness and death are virtually the same. There are literally thousands of families who have lost beloved members of their families at an early age because of BOTH of these. I'm sure once you honestly and sincerely try to have an open mind about Agent Orange (and the other "colored" agents) you will be able to see the forest for the trees in this matter......the statistics are there and they cannot be refuted.
Sincerely,
You put them in the same “family” because you find it convenient, not because the chemistry demands it. That also goes for you lumping in all the other “colored” agents, meaning the various mixes of chemicals used as defoliants in Vietnam as identified by the color of the stripe on the barrels that contained them. The defoliants that saved our men’s lives by denying cover to the enemy. You’re right about them having a similarity in “causes of illnesses and death” because none has ever been proven to cause anything other than skin irritation. There are literally no families who have lost beloved members of their families at any age because of either of these. I’m sure once you bothered to do the least bit of medical research you’ll see you have no statistics on your side. You have people with sob stories that consist of nothing more than their heartfelt “belief” that while their non-vet neighbors are dying of cancer, heart disease, and stroke that their cancer, heart disease, and stroke must be caused by a chemical with which most Vietnam vets had no contact whatsoever.
Sincerely,
Maybe He’s Referring to the Defunct Aircraft Maker, Fokker
[“DMZ” is short for “demilitarized zone.” Yes, it’s another pathetic vet who can’t leave the only brief moment of glory in his life.] I think all veterans here have shot better men than mfumentallyabsent [sic] has ever, or will ever come in contact with. Clearly this somnambulent sissifies [Huh?] is so desperate for attention that he picks on one group who would have no trouble if he went to "sleep" and was never heard from again. To be so disrespectful to a lady who has made a meaningful patchwork quilt of those who were killed after the war is so low that a snake would crawl over his topside. The fact that his "fight" is solely thru email further demonstraates [sic] his cowardice. Right on to the brothers and sisters in slapping this fukker [sic] upside his empty head.
Let’s get this straight. An entire wing of a cyberspace insane asylum flames me after one of the inmates commands them to, but I’m “picking on” them? And they made this decision to flame me because I’M desperate for attention? Never mind a book chapter and myriad articles on Agent Orange, my fight is solely through email. And a woman who terrorizes Vietnam vets by making “Quilts of Fears” is a saint? Hmm . . . Just what I’d expect from my first hatemailer who can’t even spell the word “f**cker.”
Sincerely,
From: [omitted]@soft-vision.com Dearest Mfumento (M fu*king u men to) @cs.com or where else - (@(c)o*k (s)uckers).com I know I'm IQ challenged ( you sound like a clinton clone - bet you learned how to "havatamps" on his lap ) - but at least I have an excuse. I guess you don't know what you are doing. No one sends a correct eMail addy - who was a former government employee and from what I understand now an Esq... unless they enjoy the controversy of the argument. Yet, there, in essence is no controversy, as despite your present position that mirrors your state, it lack nuts. The court in the AO Lit, despite the AOVet & Family receiving the short end of the stick where the sun don't shine - judicially ( law of the land donchaknow) all who served in vietnam ( based on "the evidence") are presumed harmed. So what you have to say, that seems to be a poor attemt [sic] to market drivel, calling it "book(s)" -- doesn't really matter. Seeing you have money - I don't or I'd be there in VA, I invite you to visit Houston and our Dojang on Beechnut. Being an attorney you will fully understand why you have to sign a waiver before we engage in tradition. I will also offer this, seeing you appear a bit afemininate [sic] in your photo's [sic]... you can ware[sic] protective gear - I won't. You can also have the first kick, punch, elbow... what ever [sic] your female heart desires, you just have to make it count. I will give you the opportunity to do, [sic] what you are trying to do "in writeing" [sic] without much success - kick someone [sic] butt. We got a deal? I also had my former Mom-In-Law [sic] look over your drivel. The "Mrs. Lowell Thomas" ( if your really a writer you'll know who I am speaking of ) said, get a life - get a job. I don't mind your insults -- infact [sic] they lite [sic] my fire -- get my drift... So what ya [sic] say... I'm 52 -- come on you can do it.
You can bring your own audience - if you can find anyone. In fine, miss on you pister - you ain't so mucking fuch!

Sincerely,
Another Agent Orange Drowning VictimDear Mr. Fumento,I resent [sic] your comments about Agent Orange and the men who served in Viet Nam.
[291 words cut] Before you go spouting your mouth off about Agent Orange and the vets that know they were exposed you had better get your facts straight. The lost [sic] of our son to this deadly form [what form?] of cancer and the very high possiblity [sic] that it came as the result of my husband's exposure to Agent Orange hurts just as much as if our son had been killed in that war. Now if you think that there is no danger in Agent Orange then I challenge you to go take a bath in it and lets [sic] see what happens to you.
Well I could say more but I think I have gotten my point across. Whether you choose to understand is another matter.
Sincerely,
Yes, you got your point across just as soon as I read that your husband was exposed to slightly more defoliant than was sprayed during the entire war. Thanks for another note smuggled out of the psycho ward.
Sincerely,
Sir, we have paper work that shows how much AO was sprayed, in what sector and what year. That is from government records. So I am quoting from their own information so if you have a problem with that then you should take that up with them. And as for psycho ward.....Mister you are so far out in left field you have no idea of what you are talking about. Trust me I have done research on this for almost 20 years. You obvioulsy [sic] have some connection to the same type of folks that [sic] think the Holacaust [sic] was a hoax. Sorry if I bothered you. I guess I should know that there are plenty of jerks out in the world that have not been thru [sic] what many of our vets have been thru [sic]. [Rest of letter omitted to keep gag reflex from becoming operative.]
Sincerelly [sic],
Sincerely,
UnBEARably Windy
Mr. Furmento: [96 words omitted] Don't attack my reasoning Mr. Furmento [sic]. [Two zillion words omitted.]
Considering you’re unable to even correctly spell my name, I hardly see any point in attacking your reasoning.
Sincerely, Mr. Fumento,
You fit a profile of someone who lacks the ability to make it on your own credentials, so you overstate yourself to make up for your deficiencies, You sir, are a pathological liar. I have no use to further debate with a liar and condemn you for your attacks on Veterans [sic] and Widows [sic] of true American heroes. If you continue to attack these fine people, I will contact some more of the people from your school days in the Midwest [sic] and the federal employees that are aware of your shoddy and poor positions you held as a Government [sic] Attorney [sic]. You have severe psychological problems and need professional help. Remember, public records are easy to look into, and your lies are easily found out. Investigating a fraud as pompous as you is not hard as you make a lot of enemies with your lies and boasts.
John [omitted]
You list as your address a camp that hasn’t existed for over a quarter of a century, but I’m the one with severe psychological problems, eh?
Sincerely,
Yes, I do not list my address as I worked in law enforcement for a long time, and yes you are a liar, and a fraud.
Sincerely,
Oops, I’ve Done it Now!
Ok mister you've gone and done it now. HOW DARE YOU insult a caring and compassionate woman like Jennie. HOW DARE YOU insult the brave men and women who serve our country to keep jerks like you free. I don't know who in the hell you think you are but that's where I think you should go STRAIGHT TO HELL!! My husband served his country for 26 years. Three tours in Vietnam and is [sic] now dying slowly from Agent Orange poisoning. His VA doctors have stated in writing that his illnesses are caused by Agent Orange. Where did you get your medical degree?? You don't believe AO causes illnesses, ever hear of Times Beach, MO? What about all the cancers, birth defects and deaths reported there? Never happened, right?? I'm done with you. I do not have the time or the patience to deal with the likes of you. Take your web site, your WRONG conclusions and shove them where the sun don't shine.
[omitted] Crow
If your husband is really dying – and nothing any of you say is worth spit – then I’m sorry about that. But considering that he’s living with you, I assure you he’s going to a better place.
Sincerely, From: [omitted] Crow ASSHOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Mrs. Crow,
Well, at least you’re no longer being a windbag! Lifestyles of the Sick and FatuousOne Week [sic] in our lifestyle [sic] would show you AO exist [sic], we would not wish it on anyone. God help you for yor [sic] misguided views. Wife and caregiver to a fairly sucessful [sic] Viet Nam Veteran [sic], stricken at 49 Positives: THE FACT THAT HE GETS UP EVERY MORNING. 1. A DAY IN THE LIFE OF TIM O. [omitted], VIET NAM VETERAN TWO TOURS VIET NAM: CEREBROVASCULAR ACCIDENT (PERSEVERATION [sic] & APHASIA), HEPATITIS, MALARIA, (have the Viet Nam Records)
DEGENERATIVE JOINT DISEASE (OSTEO ARTHRITIS [sic]), CERVICAL SPINE, AGENT ORANGE HERBICIDE EXPOSURE, NECROSIS OF THE HIPS ( BONES THAT YOU HEAR CRUNCHING TOGETHER WHEN YOU LIFT ALL HIS BODY WEIGHT TO HELP HIM MOVE, SCOOTER MOBILITY
BATHROOMS HAVE BEEN GIVEN LARGER DOOR OPENINGS FOR VETERAN TO USE/ VA REMODELED PRESENT HOME ECONOMICALLY/ INTO A HANDICAPPED HOME SITUATION. GROOMING TAKES A GOOD ONE TO TWO HOURS, WITH TRANSFER BOARD TO GET INTO SHOWER FOR BATHING , SHAVING WITH ELECTRIC SHAVER . VETERAN HAS MOVABLE HOSPITAL BED,ALL TOOLS SUCH A [sic] SHAVER HAVE TO BE CLEANED BY CAREGIVER AND SHE HAS TO BE AVAILABLE TO ASSIST AT ALL TIMES DUE TO USE OF ONE ARM. LEFT ARM FREQUENCY OF URINATION (HAVE TO TAKE A SMALL URINAL AT ALL TIMES)WHEELCHAIR/ SCOOTER MOBILITY. WIFE CATHETERIZES FOUR TIMES A DAY RATHER THAN HAVE THE INDWELLING [indwelling?] CATHETER, SO HE WILL NOT LOSE THE ABILITY TO URINATE. HE HAS A FLACCID BLADDER ,"LAZY BLADDER" THIS ALLOWS BOTH THE VETERAN AND CAREGIVER TO GET A BETTER NIGHTS SLEEP, AFTER TWO YEARS. HE STILL MANAGE [sic] TO SMILE. ( WIFE WRITES ALL THIS)
Ya know, as much as one tries to feel sorry for people like you, you make it so darned hard. Let’s get this straight. You’re blaming his malaria and hepatitis, both infectious diseases, on Agent Orange. He has "perseveration.” That means he is a steadfast person. You say he has “seronegative rheumatoid arthritis,” which means simply that he has tested negative for the disease. He has a cervical spine. I’m happy for him. It means he has the upper part of his backbone, which is what “cervical spine” means. At the age of 49 he has osteoarthritis. That probably puts him in the company of about a third of Americans in that age range, myself included. He had a “cerebrovascular accident,” whatever that is. If after all this you expect me to believe he really did have exposure to any amount of Agent Orange, you’re believing wrong, lady. You’re just another pathetic person who can’t accept that fortune does not smile on all of us evenly. Perhaps I should write a letter to Bill Gates complaining that I don’t have his money, and blame that on Ingrown Toenail Syndrome.

The Voice of True Compassion
I have a question for you. Are you this cruel to everyone that says Dioxin [sic] has caused them cancer or given their children birth defects? And have you ever been exposed to a chemical that causes God knows how many problems? Do you criticize people that have been exposed to asbestos and years down the road developed asbestosis or worse, mesothelioma? What about gas station attendants that [sic] inhaled and stepped in gasoline for years and developed problems. Do you tell them that they imagine their aliments [sic]? Why are you so mean? Isn't it easier to get your beliefs across without ridiculing?
Just wondering,
I have a question for you. People from your group have called me a "fukker," a homosexual, a draft dodger (I was 13 when the draft ended), a lunatic, a liar, a bastard, a paid lackey, a coward, a friend of Jane Fonda, have told me to kill myself and also told me that if I didn't they'd do it for me. This whole thing began with a message declaring "Here is the PUKES [sic] name and address and phone . . . " They also talked about my mother giving oral sex to strange men. But none of that bothers you in the least. Doesn't that indicate that you have a very narrow definition of the word "cruel"? Your people have made clear they don’t care in the least for my beliefs or for the facts. They’re just a bunch of crybaby victim wannabees. Sorry, I save my sympathy for those who deserve it.
Just wondering,
Sincerely (truly, this time), Thank you for your honest and thought provoking answer. I guess some people just have a hard time dealing with the loss that comes with life and accepting it. Personally, I don't think people will ever let science & reason prevail over emotions. Maybe some will, but many of them are wearing blinders. Kathleen
All the best, From IQ22:
I guess there is one way to get my point across, put on your flack [sic] jacket and lets [sic] rock and roll. I ware [sic] my straight [sic] jacket! Do you like ice fishing? I promise they will let me out for an extinguished (sic!!!) visitor as you [sic]. Do you like to dance, I will come to your favorite place. Your call! I will only use my thumb, bring a designated driver. Please call [omitted]
Sincerely, Subj: Anger Hi you [sic],
And by the way, what little you know, quilts are not knit [sic] as you stated before, they are sewn. You do not even have command of the English language. You must have been watching too much television. That commerical [sic] that showed women sitting around a quilt frame pretending they are making quilted paper towels, they were using knitting needles. You must have fell for it, later the commerical [sic] changed showing them using sewing needles as they should have been using in the first place. I do think you owe Terri an apology, what a terrible thing to say to the wife of a dying man. How insulting. As I said to you before, we do not need the likes of you in our lives. Go back under your rock and leave us alone. I will not become involed [sic] in a battle of wits with an unarmed person. Do not expect a reply Le Fevre
1. There’s not a soul on earth who can distinguish a cancer caused by a given toxic chemical and that same cancer in a person who never had exposure to that chemical. To spell it out further, that includes you. 2. Why do you bother to ask what kind of a person I am if you’re going to answer yourself, even in the same sentence? 3. In the Book of Matthew, it states: "Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.” I haven’t been a practicing attorney for over a decade, though I remain a member of the bar in good standing. I turned down a more lucrative profession to become a science writer. It’s because of that job that your people are attacking me. Yahoos like you are my burden.
5. I was unaware that He had removed St. Peter and appointed you in his stead. 6. While you pretend to be a toxicologist, you don’t even know much about quilting. Any number of verbs can be used to identify the process of constructing a quilt, including “making,” “sewing,” “quilting,” and, yes, “knitting.” A three-second search on the Internet would tell you that. Get somebody to teach you how to use it. 7. For the umpteenth time, your posse of pathetics began the attack on me. If you can’t take it, don’t dish it out.

Tell me, is there a new style guide out that says that sentences should now end with two periods? While I haven’t the least desire to knock you down, I’m intrigued at your assertion that it can’t be done. Do I assume correctly that you are one of those things they sold in my youth that has a tiny little head and huge round bottom? I still remember the ditty: “Weebles wobble, but they don’t fall down!”

Raging BullDear Sir,
Sincerely,
I just read all of your letter. And sir you are full of BULL. Speaking for myself, I wanted to go to Vietnam but the war ended when I was 15. That said, during any six-month period of my life that I can remember I have had at least one rash, diarrhea, muscle and joint pain, fatigue, and probably the etc., etc. part, too. SO maybe you should stop blaming a long-past war, get on with your life, and get your information from a more reliable source, SCIENCE.
Sincerely,
And Now, for Something Completely Different . . .Dear Mr. Fumento,
John Hodgin Dear Mr. Fumento,
I served in the US Navy during the Viet Nam war, 1967 to 1971, as a hospital corpsman. My wife suffers from a rare gamma globulin disorder that requires monthly injections to prevent recurrent pneumonia. My oldest son has insulin dependent diabetes and was diagnosed at age 21 months. My daughter was just diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic lymphoma and is undergoing a stem cell transplant. I'm fat and bald. Unfortunately, I was stationed in San Diego during my entire enlistment and can't blame any of this bad luck on agent orange. Human beings are good at seeing patterns even when they don't exist. Keep up the good work. Paul Havens

Dear Soft-Brain.com:
Wow! It's amazing what you can do over the Internet these days, even within the confines of a straitjacket! Yes, I remember Joyce Riley. She’s the woman who’s sure she has Gulf War Syndrome but keeps changing her story as to whether she picked it up in the Gulf (where she never served), or as a nurse in a San Diego hospital. But she is sure that the government invented AIDS. She even has a document dated 1970 that she says ordered its development. Problem is, the first U.S. AIDS case has been traced back to 1969. Wow!
I can not [sic] believe anyone like you lives on this earth. How cruel and insensitive you were to [omitted] Crow, a friend of mine, whose husband is suffering and dying from cancer caused from Agent Orange. I cried tears for her when I read your reply to her. What kind of a person are you, you are an evil person.Yes, we know you are a lawyer and the Bible says, Woe unto the lawyers [sic]. You must be the first one he [sic] spoke about. Don't think God is'nt [sic] watching you, yes, every move you make.You think you can escape us but you cannot escape God, he knows and sees everything you do. He does not like you to attack those who have heavy hearts.
