[AGL] Judenhass of an ex-hubby

[Jon Ford]

Mike-- Sartre's book is chilling. It was (and should still be) instructive 
for the French, who turned their backs as many French Jews were sent off to 
the camps during the Vichy-Fascist years, as well as for Americans. I am 
interested in your take on Ramsey and Lanny Wiggins. Lanny I have heard has 
become an anti-Semite nut job and big gun collector--a  horrible 
transformation. I spent my junior high school and high school years in 
Austin  hanging out  with Lanny, who was my age, spending a lot of time in 
the Wiggins home, where Ramsey still lives. Lanny was the nicest, gentlest 
and easy going kid imaginable, and the Wiggins mother, a junior high school 
teacher, was a rational and caring individual, hardly the type to create a 
racist environment. So where does this stuff come from? Where have you 
particularly noted the "Judenhass" of Ramsey, a person in other ways fairly 
normal, at least in his list-serve behavior, and admirable for having 
succeeded in kicking multiple addictions? I have seen a few signs of what 
you mention below, but I might have missed something.
