Radical Ron's published letter on " History is bunk " ( April 23, 2015 )

Re “Pack of liars” (Editorial, April 23):

I just responded to a comment on the on-line Providence Journal that flabbergasted me. I wondered if a person had a “theory of history.” I do know that Karl Marx at least believed that a science of history was possible. The person flatly denied that science—the scientific method—could be applied to human society. I thought it was no coincidence that he was also a political reactionary and a climate change denier. I recalled the famous Henry Ford quote: History is bunk. A Google search took me to your excellent editorial. Could our ruling class now believe that life itself is meaningless? But they intend to live it up at the expense of the rest of humanity?
