A different world

Mon., July 14, 2014

John Axtell (July 10) must live in a different country than I do. I have never heard of what he calls the New World Order. I’m wondering what that could possibly refer to.

I’ve never heard of what he calls the academic/government complex either. And here I used to be an academic.

I never knew that incumbents were the devil’s disciples, creating abuse and havoc wherever they go. Or that they support slavery, racism, or a school system that is abusive.

The very notion that an over-reaching federal government would be the envy of Adolf Hitler, who was an absolute dictator, is laughable.

I have no clue what Axtell is talking about.
