Dear Mr. "Cliff R"

While I was wandering across this marvelous invention that is the Inter-Net I stumbled upon your essay entitled "Wisdom of the Seer." As a practicing Swami I take offense to you referring to yourself as a seer. I would challenge you to produce any sort of legitimate articles of religious authority. I find it highly offensive that you have taken it upon yourself to identify with holy men of any sort. The turban on my head is there for a reason, to keep out the evil brain waves floating through the atmosphere. Evil brain waves generated by the likes of you!

Throughout your article, you make numerous insulting references to people of southern decent, the obese, professional models and Charlton Heston. Both Sandra Schmirler and Mr. Heston are upstanding sports and acting celebrities. The day Mrs. Schmirler passed on was a day I cried. Cried almost as much as that fateful day we, as a planet, lost Diana. What is it inside you that causes you to lash out at people the way you do. I think a good lashing is what you, yourself, need.

Bingo is an enjoyable sport! Without CBC, where would 'Anne of Green Gables' be? And don't even get me started on your comments regarding Mrs. Rosie O' Donnell. I am saddened that a person such as yourself, with such obvious abilities to create, has chosen to funnel that creativity into something so negative.

Perhaps next time you feel the urge to write something so hurtful, you'll think of people like my brother, a professional mime. I'm sure he would be driven to tears by the horrible things you have to say about his profession. Never mind the French! Myself and many I know thoroughly enjoy french fries, and let me tell you neither you nor I would have that privilege if it weren't for them. So maybe you'll just remember that next time.

I hope my words haven't fallen entirely on deaf ears. I hope one day perhaps you will find peace within yourself and perhaps truly become a person at peace with yourself. One who can truly call themselves a seer. If you're interested I run weekend classes twice monthly entitled "Finding Your Inner Seer", cheques to be made out to "International Consolidated, Ltd." I hope to hear from you, and have a good day.
