Chad Castagana: SF Has No Space for PC
Edited on Mon Nov-13-06 08:29 AM by ck4829
This is from the man who mailed threatening letters containing white powder to Nancy Pelosi, Jon Stewart, Keith Olbermann, David Letterman, and others.

"(W)ith the passing away of Lexx ends an intriguing albeit smarmy experiment in sci-fantasy. One that breaks with conventions, or should I say, cliches of TV sci-fi of the '90s. The politically correct pabulum, the multicultural indoctrination, the Bladerunner motifs, and not the least—the steroid mutated superbabes that can punch the lights out of men, but never get punched back in return!?

How about creating a new sci-fi anthology with none of the puerile baggage of Rod Serling, Gene Roddenberry, Rockne O' Bannon, etc., etc. It is time to end their reign of Left-wing innuendo, their anti-American, anti-mankind cynicism and fatalism.

Let us create a future of infinite possibilities devoid of the agenda of the social engineers who work their corruption on us through the one-way world of television (kind of how the liberal-left have always worked). A world where anything is possible but not everything is possible. Anything can happen, but not all things can happen at once. That is what time is for, to keep all things from happening at the same moment. That shall be the only rule of our new fantasy world. That an event happens only once. What has been done, cannot be undone. There is no turning back the sands of time. You can review the past but you cannot change the past. That a vision of a possible future, to the present, must be taken in the context of the present. A cosmos not governed by compassion or tolerance or equality, but common sense and merit. A universe of strange and totally new lifeforms and not distorted reflections of human characters in our present world, just to make some social allegory—that is the insipid barren road of Political Correctness that sci-fi entertainment has been a slave to for so many years.

The future is not the current events of our world thrown into outer space. The future is not with the Liberals, not with the Multiculturalists (both hate America), and it is certainly not to be found in Canada! The future is not written, the future is unformed."

Yes, he wrote to a SCIENCE FICTION MAGAZINE with that paranoid rant.

If you find anything else about him, please post it. We need as much information as possible on this guy.

1. Here is a threat that he made good on, apparently.
"This partisan loudmouth Olbermann is a demagogue !

Someone should find out where he lives and mail him a Ted Kazcinski letter . ."

3. I know where he is -- he's living in his mother's basement
What I don't know is who and where his mother is, but he's DEFINITELY living in her basement from the sound of this letter.

5. Close
Likely living on the ground floor. The house has 3 floors, 3 bdrms, 3 baths... and I can't tell but wouldn't be surprised that the "main entry" leads to the 2nd floor, and sonny has a little apartment all to himself on the ground floor. Well, that's speculation. The house isn't. Valued at $945K, and is likely paid off. Too bad, since his mom will likely have to sell it now to pay for sonny's defense lawyers.
