Whatever possessed you, Mr. Larsen, to leave the realms of journalism to explore the forbidden ground of defamation of character? I thought you were above that.

I don’t know Hal Lindsey any better than you, but I feel his views deserve the same dignity as yours. Granted he’s lost his youthful vigor and looks, but he is still searching and knows where he is going even if he is “late before planet Earth is.” And, too, we all get more gray and bloated as we age—we just don’t appreciate anyone talking about it.

Really, Jim, wasn’t there something more worthy of you to write about? When you pull someone down, you are likely to go down with them. Remember that and be more positive. Look up. You may see where Hal is going and want to go there, too.
