Alcohol has been maligned rightfully in many ways but it certainly acts as a truth serum to bring out many deep-seated prejudices. This is the case with Mr. Mel Gibson. His inebriated anti-Semitic ravings as reported in the media this week have verified not only his disturbed mind but his inherent unreasonable hate. His statement regarding his Malibu ownership is despicable, especially based on his feeble contributions to American society. As a 35-year resident of Malibu, I would respectfully request that he divest himself of his Malibu holdings and return to Australia where he may feel more at home
