I understand Gary’s plight. I have Autism/Asperger’s myself (I’m 33, was diagnosed with Autism in 1979, re-diagnosed with Asperger’s in 1999). About five years ago, during the 2004 US Elections, I sent then presidential candidate/US Senator John Kerry a few less than cordial emails (he bad mouthed the US Military in which my father [US Army for 30 off and on years], grandfather [over two decades and fought in WWII], uncles, oldest brother and fourth older sister served) at a time my grandmother died, my grandfather got cancer and my mom was fighting COPD and Diabetes and was in the hospital. I said “I hope you choke”, “I hope you drown” to Kerry among other things.

The Demoncrats and Recrapicans thought I wanted Kerry dead when I wanted him to lose (I didn’t like Dubya nor his old man nor Clinton). The CIA/FBI then had to question me and probe me and I apologized for my Asperger’s induced meltdown but as a result of that I was forever banned from voting.

Now I don’t discuss politics nor religion nor money as all three will get you in either hot water or torched!

I do not know or care on what side of the Atlantic Gary has to be judged, all I know is that he did something wrong and to support him seems to me to be really misleading, and even upsetting.

It is certainly true that things are not only black or white, but it’s us who are supposed to develop criteria, to tell the very narrow line between the good and the bad.

I do not like the message we are transmitting to the developing generations by supporting this in such a faddish way.

Justice is blind they say…
