Enough of Jane Elliot !

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 !
