Dear Rodney:
A very funny joke.
Thanks. This means a lot to me. Are you talking about Defending I or II?
Best regards,
Walter

Dear Dr Block
I was lucky enough to get included in your reply-all which has emboldened me to reply to you simply to say that your book Defending the Undefendable had a huge impact on me.
It shocked me. And enriched me.
It was a wonderful experience and it has never left me even after all these years.
Thank you
Rodney Hide

Subject: FW: Goodbye Cruel World
Bruce lived in California and was a lifelong environmentalist.
He was sick of the world; of Covid-19, Brexit, Russian belligerence,
global warming, racial tensions, and the rest of the disturbing
stories that occupy media headlines.
Bruce drove his car into his garage and then sealed every doorway and window as best he could. He got back into his car and rolled down the windows, selected his favorite radio station, started the car and revved it to a slow idle.
Four days later, a worried neighbor peered through his garage window and saw him in the car. She notified the emergency services and they broke in, pulling Bruce from the car. A little sip of water and, surprisingly, he was in perfect condition, but his Tesla had a dead battery.
This is to be expected from a California Democrat.
Lifelong environmentalists are incapable of logical thinking!
