To the editor,

This letter is written in response to Mr. Malcolm King's attempt at intelligent discourse in Thursday's issue of the Wildcat. It appears to me that Mr. King is nothing but a piggish beast with not a virtuous bone in his body. Here's why:

King writes, "The bottom line is that any view which places a value judgment on a natural act dependent on what you thought or felt at the time is just nutty."

Well then, why don't we just go around killing people who irritate us, or stealing the property of others when we want what they have, Malcolm? Aren't these natural acts as well? After all, it is what animals do.

Well, I'll tell you why we don't do these things Mr. King; because we are rational beings capable of something called virtue.

But perhaps this is something that your brutish mind cannot comprehend.

There is a word for people like you Malcolm; that word is cretin. You have probably never loved anything but yourself, and probably never will. Sex to you is nothing but another orgasm under your belt.

You are of a shallow nature Mr. King; and your life will be a complete waste if you do not start acting like a true human being soon.
