Extreme Views
[Regarding the interview with Dinesh D’Souza (May 2014)]:
In your interview (last paragraph) you state that Mr. D’Souza has “rather extreme views.” I’m not aware of his extreme views and would greatly appreciate it if you enlighten as to what they are. I thank you in advance for your kind consideration of this request.

Dear Dr. Cafarelli,
The author’s reference to Mr. D’Souza’s views as being “rather extreme” was not expressed as an opinion, but rather as a widely shared public perception. The Economist, in an article from June 2010, referred to him as an “extreme movement conservative.”
Dinesh D’Souza maintains that the leftwing political establishment is responsible for the 9/11 attacks at the World Trade Center. He has made it clear that he believes the president of the US has a secret agenda to undermine US foreign policy. Views such as these are at the extreme right of the spectrum of political thought.

Speed Limit Whine
Regarding the whining letters in your March issue:
Presumably, both whiners know how to read. At both entrances to Patagonia on Highway 82 are identical signs with three little words: “Reduced Speed Ahead.”
Whether one likes the posted speed limits or not, they are still the speed limits.
Also, the maximum speed limit on Highway 82 from Sonoita to Nogales is 55. Would be nice if it were 60 or 65 but it isn’t.
