Martin's juvenile rants offensive

Editor:

John Martin's opinion reflects more about him than it does the activists and their causes.

Character assassination and derogatory terms such as "loonies" and "misfits" indicates a man who is not only intolerant but also disrespectful and narrow minded.

It also further supports the position that knowledge or education doesn't make one wise, virtuous or compassionate.

And, by the way, boiling live crabs or any such other cruel acts perpetrated on defenseless animals has no place in civilized society.

So, Mr. Martin, rather than engaging in juvenile name calling, why not broaden your thoughts, sit down, and try some "grilled tofu and carrot juice?" Who knows, you may "get a life."
