Chip, you really are quite the "gag"-puller.
Peace,

I'm not sure this post contributes to inter-ethnic amity, but
Eastman has rather invited it. Generally, if you kick other ethnic
or religious groups hard in sensitive areas, they will kick back.
It's all purely Pavlovian.
By the way, I've never allowed Dick Eastman to post here because of
this problem he has. I think he's a sincere truth seeker with some
original insights about deep politics, but injecting any form of
bigotry into these discussions makes it impossible to proceed
rationally. He needs to rework his world model from the ground up.

My comment:
Dick Eastman deserves some credit for acknowledging and apologizing
for the antisemitism which disfigures quite a few of his posts.
(And Mark Bilk and I deserve some credit for confronting him about
this antisemitism.) No one is beyond redemption -- perhaps Eastman
will begin to think more clearly about these issues in the future.
A basic rule of thumb: judge people as individuals, not as members
of ethnic, religious or national groups. Don't attack entire
groups of people on the basis of ethnic, religious or national
stereotypes. It's the American Way.
All forms of obsessive ethnic and religious bigotry are much like
alcoholism -- the victims of this disease need help. Deep inside
all bigots know that they have a psychological problem and that
this is no way to live.

Subject: When I attacked Jewish culture in my last post -- I
crossed over into Hitlerland.
Date: Tue, 28 Aug 2007 00:55:48 -0700
I have let myself become unjustly critical of Jews as a group --
greatly harming the effort of bringing to justice individual
(Jewish) perpetrators of specific monstrous crimes and social problems
Mark Bilk warned me this would happen.
As some find it hard not to blame the "white man" in general -- so
this white man has gone and slandered innocent Jews (by bunching
them with the guilty ones.)
Guilt belongs only to individuals. Collective guilt is unjust.
And to attack a people and their entire culture is to engage in
collective guilt.
I probably won't quit posting -- never seem to be able to do that
for long. But you and I know that I have a problem.
It doesn't matter how right I am on some things -- better to let
the guilty go free than to condemn the innocent.
