My hate-filled critics/opponents in Wheaton, in Glen Ellyn, in DuPage County, and in Illinois have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout, and they have made it very clear that they would viciously destroy any individual, any organization, any company, and any government that might hire me to do anything. Should I write a book about my hate-filled critics/opponents and why they hate me?)
