Rich - excellent post. It used to be easy to i...P. Rich - excellent post. <BR/>It used to be easy to ignore the class/race/gender hustlers. Many of us are too busy pursuing the American Dream to pay attention to or get excited about incidents in which these forces prevailed by using the tactics P.Rich describes so well. But now, perhaps it would be prudent to take a long hard look at those whose goals are best achieved by taking away others’ right to life, liberty and ability to pursue happiness for no other reason than envy and a desire to tip the balance of power in their favor. They want to pervert the very freedoms that make America what it is, among them the freedom to rise or fall by your own actions rather than the determination of another. <BR/><BR/>Nifong referring to “rich daddies”; the resentful tone of those who think it unfair that Mr. Evans has a good job; the myriad quotes similar to this:“if you are a rich white male you can do anything to anyone”...it is time to stop supporting those who hold this view with media attention and by acceding to their demands. There is a pathology here, a pathology of envy and resentment and a non-productive focus on what others have instead of what they lack. <BR/> <BR/>Reason rather than emotion should prevail. Rape cannot be a decision - it is an act and if you need to think about whether you were, you weren’t. Any woman who doesn’t rush to the hospital ASAP for a SANE exam should be treated with scepticism. Sympathy feels so good some people are addicted to it - the victim culture is the sorry result. It feeds those who crave attention and validation. There is societal pressure on everyone else to feel sorry for a victim - it becomes unacceptable to hold them in any way responsible for their problems. It allows certain groups to leverage this pressure to gain power and influence. <BR/><BR/>Things have gone too far in a negative direction when all that has been achieved is sanctioned bullying. Just ask yourself who would you rather be in these two scenarios:<BR/>a) a false rape accusation: the man or the woman?<BR/>b) falsely accused of saying the "n-word" OR a hate crime : black or white?<BR/><BR/>And to Georgia Girl: WRONG! The 60's look good only if you are an ex-hippie or a current liberal with soft-focus lenses on. The appalling attitudes that are hurting America were already well-developed. <BR/>(About the Watts riots:)<BR/>“Few Negroes, feel penitent about it. Why should they? It triggered federal anti-poverty activity...”<BR/><BR/>Whitney Young Jr. of the Nt’l Urban League describes the big change after the Watts riots: before the riots, he begged audiences of corporate leaders (he was promoting preferential hiring for blacks). After - they begged him...and sent limos. He notes that he has been too busy for public appearances, stating “This is what gets you the publicity - go on TV and denounce the white man.” <BR/>Life Magazine, June 3 1966Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-69546365912944901552007-04-20T22:04:00.000-04:002007-04-20T22:04:00.000-04:00hman, what an extraordinary interpretation of femi...hman, what an extraordinary interpretation of feminism:<BR/><BR/>"...a movement that veered into the ditch where every issue is distilled down to a few simple maxims". <BR/><BR/>After weeding through all your fancy rhetoric, I can tell you "in everyday language" what I know from experience.<BR/><BR/>Yes, females, in many instances, have been helpless victims of evil masculine power.

A long, long time ago that movement veered into the ditch where every issue is distilled down to a few simple maxims: Females are the helpless victims of evil masculine power - except that they are sronger and better than men in almost every way. Men and women are the same underneath - except that women can do everything better plus gestate babies. Affirmative action is justified because - women are stronger and better than men and because weak, stupid men have somehow denied them their due.. A "wage gap?" Well, it should be closed by forcing employers to pay women more per hour worked - because, Oh, who gives a shi-t.<BR/> Ordinary, sane, recognizable notions of "equality" were banished from the sisterhood back when R. Nixon was president. No example of female priviledge and preferrence will ever be acknowledged or repudiated, no example of male sacrifice will ever be considered.<BR/> In dealing with them always be polite.

Since her husband, Romand Coles, is a permanent associate professor (19 years after finishing his Ph.D.), why would Duke hire two mediocre people at once? Spousal hires are only supposed to happen when one of them is truly outstanding in the field. At the same time, if Duke wanted to act in a serious fashion, her behavior to students would be sufficient to terminate her contract. After all, if her husband left as a result, this would only represent one less permanent associate professor on the payroll.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-2020932765155534512007-04-20T17:20:00.001-04:002007-04-20T17:20:00.001-04:00Anonymous 10:07 said...

Nifong sends Wilson (who is not a cop) for the few interview conducted - nothing from Gottlieb or Himan (I think Gottlieb knew where enough bodies were buried to get off the case). Maybe Gottlieb's four month old "remembrance" was an indication to not take his account seriously. Just a thought. The Police Chief is no where to be found and no indication who was assuming his responsibilities.
