- Heh.... Nice tale! That must've been a year or two before I got to the U of
- MN...
- In Spring of '90 only Brothers Max (nearly as well-known as Jed) and Dan showed
- up.
- Max is known as the man who liked to beat the Word of God into his
- wife. Max oughta get a real job.
- And for those in the know, what happened to Br'er Dan? Did he go back
- to his day job as the Strutting San Diego Chicken?
-
- Spring of '91 brought Max again, with a new trainee, Brother Leonard. I don't
- think Brother Leonard was gonna make the cut: he was nearly intelligent enough
- to think for himself. He knew some philosophy (well, he didn't know
- philosophy, but he knew about philosophers), and he got beat on a little bit -
- it was big news at the U that Spring - a (black) guy kicked Leonard, three
- white guys grabbed the black guy and held him down, a lesbian started screaming
- racism, one of the guys made homosexual jokes about her, and the MN Daily took
- photos... From the Destroyers 'peaceful' spiel came racism, homophobia,
- 'religionism' (???), and photo-ops... Tee Hee... I just wish that people
- didn't feel that physical abuse would solve the problem of Jed and Co.... This
- is America, and no matter how distasteful the message, they have a right to
- spew it. On the other hand, as one of the founders of University Atheists and
- Unbelievers, I am biased towards free speech...
- Speaking of which, if there are any readers at the U of MN in Mpls,
- please check to see if UAaU is still around. I transferred and haven't heard
- anything in quite a while. Thanks!
