Castagana: "liberal-left =social engineers who work their corruption "
It's signed by him and he isn't real fond of us liberals
4th letter down the page
Googling brought up his letter on a sci-fi website

http://www.scifi.com/sfw/issue279/letters.html#pc

How about creating a new sci-fi anthology with none of the puerile baggage of Rod Serling, Gene Roddenberry, Rockne O' Bannon, etc., etc. It is time to end their reign of Left-wing innuendo, their anti-American, anti-mankind cynicism and fatalism.

Let us create a future of infinite possibilities devoid of the agenda of the social engineers who work their corruption on us through the one-way world of television (kind of how the liberal-left have always worked). A world where anything is possible but not everything is possible. Anything can happen, but not all things can happen at once. That is what time is for, to keep all things from happening at the same moment. That shall be the only rule of our new fantasy world. That an event happens only once. What has been done, cannot be undone. There is no turning back the sands of time

Love the response from another poster--3rd letter down

http://www.scifi.com/sfw/issue280/letters.html

It is with great amusement that I read Chad Castagana's letter entitled "SF Has No Space for PC". I found his letter to be a poorly argued mish-mash of vague claims and nonsensical statements. Assuming for a moment that Chad did not intend this as a satire that fell flat—or that I missed the joke—let's take a look at what he wrote.


A half-baked, rambling, knee-jerking political rant by someone who has obviously swallowed a lot of discourse from opinion-mongers like Rush Limbaugh and is now spewing it back up only partially digested. The term "politically correct" used to actually have some meaning and bite many years ago (by the way, it was coined by left-wingers, did you know?) but has recently been so overused that it has lost any real meaning, and serves simply as a convenient label for right-wingers like Chad to slap on any idea that they don't agree with so that they can dismiss it rather than actually examining or discussing in a rational manner. Whenever I hear it used now, I get an image of Donald Sutherland's character at the end of the first Invasion of the Body Snatchers remake, pointing and gargling as he spots a non-pod person. Hiissssss! PC! PC! Hiiiissssss!

4. Probably thought that somebody would be listening in on him and
offer him a job like that on "Mystery Science Theatre 3000" ... ridiculing the SF movies ... or maybe being the "tormentors" ... because they thought his miniscule brain activity was worthy of using spy technology or telepathic scanning on ...

Probably more like an intellectual black hole ...

2. I'd say all the responses were pretty good,
Edited on Tue Nov-14-06 02:04 AM by FVZA_Colonel
but the one you pointed out was probably the best. (Anything that references Donald Sutherland in Invasion of the Body Snatchers gets a plus from me).
