Letters to the Editor - Jerry Sillman
For ten years I defended evolution, moral values, stem cell research,
homosexual marriage and much more. I looked for some possibility of
co-existence. Over the years I got to know my neighbors too well and
realized that we live in quite separate worlds. I will range over four
volumes of letters and responses so you can experience it as I did.
I even got some compliments.
