I am a super liberal in this matter of the public's " right to know ". On the front page of today's Providence Journal ( April 30 ) candidates for governor were discussing specifically 911 calls. I'll admit I have a personal interest here: On Tuesday Jan.29 - around noontime - in Cranston- at the corner of Reservoir Ave and Speck Ave - I was chased into the street by an out of control and vicious Rotweiller. I fell on Reservoir and broke my shoulder. I was taken to Rhode Island Hospital by ambulance. The Cranston Police never bothered to show up, but it was the owner of the Rotweiller - we are reasonably sure- who made the 911 call.
But then she disappeared - with no apology. As she witnessed her dog do me harm, she was involved in a CRIME - hit and run ! I believe I have every right to have this woman's identity and a transcript of her 911 call.

" Violently disagree " with Mr. Achorn ?
For a number reasons - unconnected to RACISM - I do not think
that reparations are owed to descendants of black slaves. So I was not
impressed with the column in today's Providence Journal by Nzinga Misgana
and Asata M. Tigray -familiar AMERICAN names ! - " Why reparations are owed
to blacks ".
These gentlemen " violently disagree " with Mr. Achorn in this
matter. Isn't it possible on EVERY controversy nowadays to just politely
disagree ? Must poor Mr. Achorn hire a body guard too ? I understand that
75 Fountain St. has enough problems right now !
Think about this aspect of the problem : IDENTIFICATION of
descendants. In order to this fairly the country - using advanced DNA
testing - would have to be as racially obsessed as Nazi Germany .
Should a half-black be as unworthy of compensation as a
half-Jew in Germany who has Holocaust relatives ?
Should the compensation be such as to completely eliminate
millions of blacks from the blue collar work force ? After compensation
they as a NEW CLASS can be free to hire and exploit the white descendants
of the victims of the notorious Industrial Revolution ?
And I guess the remaining poor whites have no excuse for
being poor - as they were never victims of RACISM. They are still poor
because they are lazy, shiftless, immoral white trash !
Perhaps Misgana and Tigray might benefit from reading
volume one of Karl Marx's " Capital ". I'm not quite sure today about
the labor theory of value. But it makes at least as much sense as Isaac
Newton's laws of motion. Einstein taught us that these laws are not
quite right - a little off the mark, sometimes way off the mark. But
they got us to the Moon and back - and even to Mars and beyond.
Narrow minds are always off the mark in an expanding
universe. Try to violently disagree with REALITY !

Robert Blake -guilty but sane !
I won't pay as much attention to the Robert Blake murder
trial as I did O.J. Simpson's . I know the plot all too well as I
am an old fan of Alfred Hitchcock 's detective stories: How to murder
your wife and live happily ever after.
I won't say that I can empathize with Blake as I am safely
single. The moralist in me condemns wife-murder. But the Hitchcock
fan ? Ah but to be FREE again , to end the long misery of nature's
dirty trick !
If I were on the jury , I would find the actor GUILTY but SANE !
Now back to my Hitchcock book : " Tales Your Mother Never
Told You ".

Just say NO to the homeless ?
Like many in downtown Providence I'm often annoyed - and
depressed- by repulsive and aggressive panhandlers. At times it is
the psychological equivalent of a holdup. I either give the gentleman
indigent or indigent gentleman enough change for a cup of hot coffee or
a gallon of gas or he will crudely suggest in unpoetic language that I
actually have an incestuous relationship with my 80 year old mother !
But I still insist that rather than just say NO to the homeless
panhandlers, we say NO to homelessness.
Yes, it should be against the law for ANYBODY to be homeless.
A city should be fined by a federal judge for every indigent not
adequately housed - rather than absurdly fine the indigent $500 for
aggressive panhandling.
Homelessness is not a problem to be solved for this society's
ruling class. It is a menace to be contained or watched. All plutocrats
fear the people of the Abyss, the uprising of the unwashed, the fury of
the mob - with nothing to lose !
Reform is the best cure for revolution.
