Dallas Projo supports chain gangs

Good afternoon, Bob. Thanks for fighting the good
fight. But the Almighty 4th Floor does not seem to
support that last Bob Kerr column on Fall River
chain gangs. ( see yesterday editorial)
    The Dallas Projo preaches the work ethic to the
proles and the criminal class-and to suckers everywhere.
   Would the former Providence Journal preach this
phony sermon to our native plutocracy ?
   I myself believe in a rational work ethic and
reject the vicious and useless humiliation of helpless
prisoners whatever their misdeeds.
   A rational work ethic would demand that we abolish
all hereditary wealth-even while preserving the best
in greedy capitalism.
   Good thing you guys still have the Newspaper Guild.
THEY would have the best of you in a "newspaper "
chain gang.
   I think Mr. Whitcomb is at his best WRITING
columns. He even remembers the smell of ginger ale
as a 4 year old!
  But those letters he publishes are getting awfully
boring and egocentric lately.
  Mary Ann, the talk show queen , for example. Her
last letter suggests that there is no love lost
between Italians ( who compete for hot air space )
   Anybody for " ethnic cleansing " of Providence
City Hall? We can send the whole FAMILY to a pizza
chain. And they can still be a gang.
