|    Hate Speech    |

      From: ZHR@BEEFART.CO.UX              'If you study the opinions that prevail in modern academies, you will       discover that they are of two kinds: those that emerge from the constant       questioning of traditional values, and those that emerge from the attempt to       prevent any questioning of the liberal alternatives. All of the following       beliefs are effectively forbidden on the normal American campus: (1) The       belief in the superiority of Western culture; (2) The belief that there       might be morally relevant distinctions between sexes, cultures, and       religions; (3) The belief in good taste, whether in literature, music, art,       friendship, or behavior; and (4) The belief in traditional sexual mores. You       can entertain those beliefs, but it is dangerous to confess to them, still       more dangerous to defend them, lest you be held guilty of "hate speech"-in       other words, of judging some group of human beings adversely. Yet the       hostility to these beliefs is not founded on reason and is never subjected       to rational justification. The postmodern university has not defeated reason       but replaced it with a new kind of faith-a faith without authority and       without transcendence, a faith all the more tenacious in that it does not       recognize itself as such.'              http://www.city-journal.org/html/9_2_urbanities_what_ever.html                     ROBBIE              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
