JFK Intern Details Affair In New Memoir
And The Oldest Living Thing On Earth Is...
As details about the life of James J. Lee, the man who was killed by police Wednesday after allegedly taking hostages at a building owned by the Discovery Channel, have continued to surface, a YouTube video that the environmental activist posted in 2008 was uncovered.
Set to Barry McGuire's version of P.F. Sloan's classic dystopian protest song "Eve of Destruction," Lee compiled a series of images that reinforced his rather dark world view that human beings are the planet's worst enemy.
All but one of the comments left in response to Lee's video were posted within hours of Wednesday's tragic events. The one that was not, posted two years ago by a man named Adam Hintz, read, "Hi. Thanks for doing what you do. :)" Today, however, Hintz posted a new tribute in which he reads from the work that is said to have inspired Lee: "My Ishmael" by Daniel Quinn.
Of course, the bulk of the comments left since Lee re-emerged in the national spotlight were not so flattering.
A YouTube user who goes by the screen name kikoki wrote, "You've probably single handedly set your cause back 10 years or more," while another, Straightarrow42, echoed Hintz's wording, if not his meaning.
"Hi," Straightarrow42 wrote. "Thanks for being really crazy."
