> THE REVIEW LIST
> Things that John Danforth,
> Clarence Thomas, and Ralston Purina
> have in common
>
> -- DANFORTH hired THOMAS out of law school as an assistant attorney general in
> Missouri. -- DANFORTH brought THOMAS to Washington as a legislative assistant
> when elected to the Senate. -- DANFORTH helped THOMAS get appointed to the
> Reagan transition team, the Department of Education, and the EEOC. -- DANFORTH
> helped THOMAS get appointed to the US Court of Appeals, calling him my "personal
> friend." -- DANFORTH played a crucial role in getting THOMAS appointed to the
> Supreme Court. -- DANFORTH, during the time in question, owned RALSTON PURINA
> stock worth more than $7.5 million. -- Two brothers of DANFORTH were on the
> board of directors of RALSTON PURINA -- One brother of DANFORTH was a member of
> the board of trustees of Washington University, which had large holdings in
> RALSTON PURINA. -- Alpo and RALSTON PURINA were sued on charges of false
> advertising. -- US District Judge Stanley Sporkin fond both companies in the
> wrong, but found that RALSTON PURINA alone had acted willfully in having
> "perpetrated a cruel hoax" on dog owners in its claims that it dog food could
> cure a serious ailment. He assessed a $10 million fine against RALSTON PURINA.
> -- A few weeks after being confirmed, THOMAS heard the RALSTON PURINA appeal. He
> wrote an opinion for the court overturning the $10 million fine against RALSTON
> PURINA. -- This was good news for his friend DANFORTH and his $7.5 million in
> RALSTON PURINA stock, but appears to be a clear violation of 28 USC 455 which
> requires a federal judge to disqualify himself in proceedings in which the
> judge's impartiality "might" reasonably be questioned.
>
> [This information appeared in the August 24, 1991, edition of Legal Times in an
> article by Monroe Freedman, professor of legal ethics at Hofstra University Law
> School. Freedman wrote that "Thomas showed no regard for his ethical obligations
> as a judge and no respect for the statutory mandate that he recuse himself. On
> both counts, Thomas is unfit to sit on the Supreme Court of the United States."
> The media, more interested in stray hairs on Coke cans, ignored the story.]
> DRUG BUSTS
>
> The drug war has little to do with public health; rather it is primarily a
> mechanism for controlling the country's alienated underclass. It is a war by an
> affluent technocracy against those who didn't make it into the club. New
> statistics from the Department of Health and Human Services back this up:
>
> -- 44% of drug users work for small businesses with less than 25 employees
> -- 19% of food workers, waiters, waitresses and bartenders use illegal drugs.
> -- 14% of construction workers use illegal drugs
> -- 10% of transportation and moving industry workers use illegal drugs.
> WACO
>
> "What's interesting about 'Waco,' is if you're looking for people who are
> unbalanced zealots, you don't find them among the Branch Davidians, you find
> them among the FBI and Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Those are the people who
> deserve to be fears, I think." -- Movie critic Roger Ebert in a review when
> "Waco: The Rules of Engagement" was first released.
