DR JRand53, For a brilliant Harlan Ellison rant, may I suggest his essay TERRORISTS in the compliation book, SEPTEMBER 11: West Coast Writers Approaching Ground Zero edited by Jeff Meyers.
A sampling: "Why can't I get that portion of the human race to which I have access to uunderstand that it has been systemically gulled, hoodwinked if you will, had enough smoke blown up its kilt to refloat the Luistania by disingenuous egalitarian bunkum, into believing "Everyone is Entitled to His or Her Opinion" when, in truth everyone is only entitled to his or her INFORMED opinion; and all the witless upchuck devoid of fact or common ratiocination is merely the chittering of intellectually-arid humanoids swathed in Old Navy schmatahs."
It proceeds to take on and decimate those other religious terrorists Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, and their ilk and those two cretins' opinion that 9/11 was the fault of liberals, homosexuals, abortion clinics, and every other thing they're against that doesn't move in lock-step with their narrow, rigid, peas-eye view of the world. Great stuff and, as always, with Harlan, hysterically, laugh-out-loud funny and right on the money.
