11/06/2017 From An Angry Reader: Professor Davis, In your recent article “The Method to Trump’s Madness”, you claim Trump’s insults are retaliation to those who have said things against him.

From An Angry Reader: You created this Frankenstein. You have a lot to answer for. G-d is looking down on you, and He is not smiling. You all are in your 80s. That’s the good thing in all this. Nobody lives forever and you all are a helluva lot closer to the “final reward” than
From An Angry Reader: Mr. Hanson, I read your opinion piece in Newsweek and wanted to respond. I wish you’d included numbers, information on programs and systems, budget levels, and other trends, rather than just a few quotes.

William Bridgeman (Retired), sent me the attached links and quotes that I would like to bring to your attention. This features the words of the figures themselves (Forrest and Lincoln), and I will let them speak for themselves. Please
09/13/17 From An Angry Reader: Angry Reader Rich Laughlin Mr. Hanson, please try using sentences with less words. Most recently, I read one of your articles that had a sentence with 44 words. Other sentences in the same article were almost as bad. Really. You are loosing me with those lengthy paragraphs that contain
09/12/17 From An Angry Reader: Angry Reader Bob McCarthy For one who loves to cast aspersions on political incorrectness in the use of words, maybe you should ‘splain to your readers your use of the term “Mexifornia” in decrying the Mexican “takeover” of California, as racist a piece as I’ve ever read. I find it
