Lies useless against the Prince of Lies

Truly asinine thinking: use the Big Lie tactic in our war against

    terrorists. You can fight fire with fire. But the Lie must be fought with

    the Truth. I don't expect Pentagon officials to be as honest as Ralph Nader.

    Just a cut above the loathed enemy !

              Was it the French writer Camus who said : " In fighting our enemy

    we must not come to resemble them "  ? Odd that people who swear loyalty

    to democracy have so little faith in the power of TRUTH -which will make us

    free.

              If terrorists had any faith in the truth, they would not kill

    honest journalists like Mr. Pearl of the Wall St. Journal . Mr Pearl was

    a jewel of the profession. How horrible his execution !

Cruel reparations hoax

 With deep sympathy for the victims of the odious slave trade,

    I must say that all this talk about reparations for past slavery is indeed

    inspired by base instincts -like greed - and propensity of naive blacks for

    pleasant fantasies and fatuous daydreaming.

               So one day a government check will arrive in the mail. And

    instantly every black person who can claim some slave as an ancestor is

    the equal of the big time lottery worker. No need to work another day in

    your life. Leave all the blue collar grind to white crackers who may have

    had ancestors who fought to free the slaves.

                 All that dispersed wealth would be better used for a national


    health care plan for ALL working people, educational opportunities for ALL

    working people, and every society needs funds set aside for every kind of

    calamity - economic depression, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, epidemics,

    and now even TERRORISM - a very costly war against it.

              And middle America does frown on ALL unearned money. Think about

    that while imagining yourself with the life style of the rich and famous-

    and obnoxious - all because your ancestors were slaves. And their ghosts

    might haunt you: " All my misery for YOU ?  "

                   I hear the factory whistle blowing. Wake up ! Think

    UNION ! That might get you out of your rut.

When Law clashes with Science

I am following the case of the depressed mother who drowned her

    own children. It seems to me that the law is way behind  modern psychology

    in its dark age concept of mystical FREE WILL. NOTHING in nature could

    possibly account for the legal notion of free will. There is more to human


    sanity than merely knowing right from wrong. The part of  the brain associated

    with primal emotions -like motherly love- could be defective.

               I hope the poor woman IS found insane. Clearly society neglected her

    when she was most in need of help.

             The whole world of crime and punishment is based on mystical fictions

    like free will. Now I will get back to "Will " by G. Gordon Liddy.

Compartmentalized debate on slave reparations

Once again reparations for slavery is a hot topic on local talk

    radio. Liberals who feel passionately on the subject -think injustice to


    our ancestors entitles us to something- have very curiously compartmentalized

    thinking on the controversy . What about the more general question -now asked

    only by diehard Marxists ?- about the maldistribution of wealth in capitalist

    societies, about the everyday " exploitation of FREE labor. When was the last

    time any radical liberal in the news even paid homage to the old fashioned

    labor theory of value ?

            A theoretical discussion of the CLASS nature of wealth creation is

    far more illuminating than stale debates on  reparations for black slavery.

         Wage slavery is still a reality. The haves have nearly everything because

    they can EXPLOIT the have nots of the world - of all races and nationalities.

             How many partisans of slavery reparations are socialists ?
