Re: Health Notice, bookstores

["bill london" <bill_london@hotmail.com>]

A clarification for Linda Pall regarding book purchases and learning 
more about the writers who live among us:
Linda, I never would suggest the purchase of any of Ragnar Benson's 
(Moscow author Larry Grupp's) books, via Amazon.com or BookPeople or 
anywhere.  I just don't have any desire to buy a book that instructs me 
on how to build my own flamethrower or on how to disable a military 
vehicle.
My point was that if anyone wanted to see the kind of writing that Larry 
Grupp is producing, that inspecting the list of his books in print via 
Amazon.com would be the easiest way.
BL
ps. I have a question: Why would someone who makes his living 
proclaiming extreme anti-governmental and anti-authoritarian views, like 
Larry Grupp does, be so supportive of the status quo in farming 
practices and food quality?
