" Derrotar a Kells " ?

My CCRI Spanish came in handy when I read " Hispano busca

    derrotar a Kells "  on your Pagina Latina page ( June 12, page C6).

        Did not Charles Bakst say in his June 8 column that Senator

    Kells of District 10 is quitting politics, " ten years is

    enough " ?

          Bob Kells was a " good neighbor " of mine when I lived

    on Rutherglen Ave. in the Reservoir Triangle of Providence.

        Yes, I routinely voted for him. Now Bob senses that the

    area has profoundly changed. And the PR problems of the

    Providence Police have not helped his career ambitions.

           Bakst says that District 10 is now a " rich mix

    of whites, blacks, Latinos, and Asians . "

          But according to Joe Almeida: " Ya es tiempo que

    los negros y los latinos se unan " ( article ).

           Is my  Spanish off or do I read ethnic politics at

    its most vile here ?  To be sure, blacks and latinos should

    get along as we ALL must. . But should blacks and latinos

    UNITE  politically ? Against WHOM ? Whites and Asians ?

         I believe that ethnic politics is corrupting the

    Democratic Party nationally. Must it pander shamelessly

    in order to win elections ?

Hollywood's " Deconstructionism "

Fuzzy History is just as outrageous as Fuzzy Math. Your

    editorial today , " Hollywood's big lies ", makes me wonder

    if Hollywood is the real inspiration for academia 's asinine

    " " deconstructionism " ".

            When making a " history " film , don't worry too

    much about the actual TEXT!

           Yes, indeed : " little things like truth mean

    nothing " next to " production values " ( PROFITS ) and

    PC values .

         I am now convinced that the ONLY revolutionary force

    in the world today is the TRUTH.

            To quote the author of " The Revolution Betrayed " :

       " If lies were made of dynamite, the whole world would

    explode ! "

           The TRUTH today as all the status of an illegal alien

    in Barrington , R.I .  ( has )

Fuzzy Math Indeed !

            Why is there more common sense in the corrupt bourgeois

    press nowadays than in innocent, idealistic Academia ?

           Your editorial this morning " Beware fuzzy math "

    rightly sees a connection between this " constructivist "

    rubbish and the more abstruse rubbish : " deconstructionism "

    -which is the ideological basis of much professorial quackery.

           The essence of " deconstructionism " is a disbelief in

    an orderly, rational universe. In religious language it is

    a rebellion against God Himself; in secular language we call

    it HUBRIS .

           Deconstructionism loathes the objectivity of SCIENCE -

    the belief that reality is independent of our wishes, of our

    POLITICS.

           By the way the New Math in my school days was not

    a complete pedagogical disaster : I still remember that : "The

    null set set is a subset of all sets. "

Death by sound bite

         How quickly comes death by sound bite nowadays. Ask the

    Prime Minister of Japan , Yoshiri Mori, who thinks that

    Japan is a " divine nation " centered on the emperor.

         How many American politicians might think that America

    is God's Country - and even say it ?

           I believe that America is indeed God's Country and that

    HIS light shines on Bill Clinton's face.

           Not for nothing Bill was just honored with the Charlamagne

    Award. But will he unify all Europe under  that Old Time Religion ?
