Letter: Heston would be better president than Al Gore

Tuesday, March 28, 2000 | 9:21 a.m.

I realize that a large percentage of Americans have been brainwashed into believing that they are in the best position they have ever been in. I also realize that many Americans think that the immoral occupant of the White House (thank God for not too much longer) walks on water and is ready for "sainthood." Many of them already have him canonized. I am also aware that his henchman, Albert "the bore" Gore has been venerated by many who are ready to follow him into hell.

To Harbert, let me ask, "What is wrong with prayer?" I am unaware that prayer has ever hurt anyone. And, while I do not condone the use of assault rifles, nor see any need for them by civilians, I am a card-carrying member of the NRA who does believe in our Second Amendment rights. Yes, I do believe that guns, in the hands of maniacs, kill people, but so do knives, poisons, bludgeoning instruments, drownings, stranglings, etc.

And, yes, Charlton Heston is my president -- much more than "the bore" will ever be, should the American people be foolish enough to elect him.
