I attended the Humanitarian Day event last evening at RIT. Your controversial ideas have made me very ANGRY. The thought police didn't arrive to silence your dangerous concepts, all of which carefully try to point out, that somehow intellect will prevail over emotionally potent oversimplifications! How can this be!! You know, my family were also Jewish Survivors immigrated from Germany before the 'Holocaust Industry' was a business matter. I can not speak for their anger only mine.
 

I have seen you several times over the years on Free Speech TV Channel on the TV Show Democracy Now! and you only mildly got me critical of your notions about thinking and thought processes about 'dangerous ideas' that I have allowed to compartment my mind into over-simplified emotionally potent stereotypes of distrust, hatred, and fear! I am angry that you have taken away some of the energy that blocks these 'dangerous ideas' so tightly out of my mind and keeps me blind to other points of view. I hate you for opening my eyes a little last night! You have made it harder for me to blindly shout my hate speech at those that disagree with my perception of the world - you make me angry that you make it look is so easy to unravel the "concepts that blind" us. It makes me ANGRY to know that I am afraid to look at, listen to, or think about different points of view! I am so ashamed that it makes me angry to the point that I am repulsed to clutch my hate!
 
I watched in horror as idea after idea, that any man in his 'right mind' would automatically avoid like The Plague, you took on with the methodical precision of a Brain Surgeon; Removing a cancer that will kill us all if we don't cast it out as quickly as possible. I was brought to anger over and over as I watched you bring light to the darkest recesses of prejudice and propaganda that we float our civilization on. Was this your purpose: To let me see that we in the U.S. are morally adrift like a bit of cork being tossed about upon the waves of the ocean; desperate to find dry land for a moment of blissful peace holding on to our collective ignorance of historical evidence! How dare you to be so informative and calm in your presentation style. You make me angry that it is not the 'Norm' to speak with such clarity and compassion for questioning authority with a reasoned argument, filled with references, that delivers a rational question that is unavoidable and demands an answer.
 
We must cling tightly to our fears, anger, and hate so we can be properly managed and march obediently 'intellectually blind' having more than a few parallels to being smartly dressed marionettes with the next Hitler(s) as puppet master. I watched person after person in the audience begin to question messages given by 'authority figures' and begin to react as a slaves casting off their chains hopeful of the possibilities in this newfound freedom of thought. How dare you think people should think for themselves and do their own research. People want to be told what to think not how to think or that they can think on their own. It makes me angry to know that I have supported you by being there. Angry because I didn't have the words to question you directly about these 'dangerous thoughts' at the time because I was still enslaved by the idea that to question you openly in public would amount to reckless abandonment of my modern education where I am taught to mimic my teachers and not question the very basis for their conclusions. You are setting the standard for 'right mind' a little higher than I can reach right now. I am angry that I am having a little trouble reaching the bar you just raised!
 

Dr. Finkelstein, I thank you for traveling in the bone chilling cold and snow to my hometown of Rochester, NY last night. I thank you for taking on a rather disillusioned audience that was also angered by your 'dangerous thoughts' about questioning our fears, angers, and especially those mental giants we call authorities in the Arts and Sciences. I was happy to be angered by the likes of a Nice Jewish Man like you. Your family, friends, and professional colleagues must be very pleased. As a big guy wearing a red football jacket I felt fortunate to shake your hand and thank you in person on the stage for your stellar courage that I am held in complete shame by its example of faith in our fellow man. Thank you for lingering afterward for brief conversations with the audience.
