The Greek philosopher Socrates is famous for advising people
to " know thyself ". I know myself to know that I am a RATIONAL liberal-
the old fashioned type that still believes in the Virtue of Reason.
" Racism "- which is a form of irrational rejection of people -
is no part of my makeup.
So I do not hesitate to say that I myself might be tempted to
escort Jane Elliot - arch enemy of bigoted CAB DRIVERS - out of town
myself. But I won't because of my GENUINE liberalism .
This woman IS indeed a trouble maker. Her " brown eyed, blue
eyed " experiment on the nature of prejudice was a crackpot and vicious
one on innocent people .
Having put an " ignorant " cab driver in his place, she gives
us this tip about the Republicans : They hate President Clinton because
he champions the causes of black people. I guess most Republicans
are bigots and sexists and gay bashers ! Talk about bigotry !
I have not had a strong enough cup of coffee to continue this
letter ( It was too " integrated " ) . As a LIBERAL, I am not impressed
with Jane Idiot !
