Coverage a mistake
t was a mistake for the Rocky to print the predictions of Pat Robertson ("Evangelist predicts 2007 'mass killing,' " Jan. 3). To give him coverage serves only to terrify the vulnerable and amuse the cynical.
His rants are no more newsworthy than those of any lunatic. Civic Center Park features several of these sad folks every day. Why give coverage to Robertson's gaseous output? Someone wisely said, "When you talk to God, that is prayer. When God talks to you, that is psychosis." And, may I add, when you presume to tell others what God said to you, that is the pinnacle of arrogance.
Robertson's record of prophesy is poor, his fearmongering tiresome and the Rocky's coverage of his nonsense is preposterous and unproductive.
