To the editor:
The letter to the editor, "Reasoning with irrational" (Aug. 21, page A10), was aptly named. Its author truly did pen some irrational thoughts.
Does the author really believe that Virginia Uranium Inc.’s attempts to indoctrinate the state’s citizens is a philanthropic venture? Particularly irrational was the author’s attempt to equate campaign spending of political candidates with VUI’s public relations campaign. However, her confusion may be due to VUI’s actions which liken it more to a political machine than a legitimate corporate entity.
Does the author also believe that VUI can present all known facts applicable to mining and milling here and around the world, past and present, in one presentation? Can the author honestly believe acclaimed scientists worldwide are in agreement in all facts VUI puts forth?
The author further asserts that those who disagree with her views and those of VUI are "elitists," "crazies" and "irrational." It appears that these descriptions best fit the author of the letter to the editor.
