Expanded - Citizen journalist: Bigot or Savior?
Supplement to "The Final article: The Final Problem" Parts 1 & 2
(Companion Pieces: "Latest Update: Offending with Truth" and "Action Chain Letter 6)
by Citizen Journalist and Richard DePersio
(Also enjoy at this venue: "Hurricane," 'Problem 1 & 2,' "Article with No Name," "Reader's
Choice," "Meteors Make Merry/Mexicans Make Merry," "Nation Needs NASA/Non-NASA
Notions," "ingins, cripples, people of the dome and the rest," "Why such Anger in
those Heavenly Minds," "Traveling Reporter," "Pie in the Sky," and more).
"We are all Greeks: our laws, our literature, our religion, our arts - all have
their roots in Greece; not for Greece, we would all be savages..."
-(he left out philosophy) Early in 19th Century, Poet Shelly.
"If there is a source to which Western art and thought comfortably refer, it
is in ancient Greece and Rome. Greece and Rome are with us where ever
we look...where ever we go."
-Michael Wood, Art of the Western World.
"Rome borrowed heavily from Greek mythology (often similarly stories
replaced with Roman names) and philosophy; extended Greek technology
(aqueducts) realized full potential of cement in building 3-dementional structures,
heretofore, limited to surface work due to flaw in formula; introduced the arch
and the shapes derived from it; Greek known for grand exteriors in architecture,
Romans modified and became known for grand interiors; Roman law;
the hierarchy of Roman Catholic Church based on Roman government;
further developed Greek art and sculpture; military strategies still studied today."
-Citizen Journalist
Citizen Journalist: When I visit Rick (in
his secret office abode: he actually has a living room-traditional library-
command center {part office} combo; a 3-in-1 featured in 'Better Homes and
Gardens' in 2005 (reporter and photographer blind-folded to and from venue}) are
good friends George, John, Tom and Jim brought here by H.G. (sort of like
car pooling by the red, white and blue for the green - tribute or mock? You,
Harvey and Topper will be the judge)." George: "Not counting the black slaves
- whom I freed in my will - in 1776, the 13 colonies (now, states) were 99%
white-Christian-European-decent (British, and, in a distant second Dutch and
German, and bringing up the rear homos...we jest, Patriot humor, you know, it
got big laughs during the long cold nights when the men were huddled together at
Valley Forge...Destiny had placed the continuance of the Western Tradition (aka
Western Civilization) on our shoulders. Ho-Jon: "Your not whistling 'Dixie."
Something insidious began to transpire in the U.S. and Free Europe in the 1950s,
WT (Ancient Greece and Rome; Christianity;
Renaissance, Enlightenment; Industrial Revolution) was mentioned less and less
in public - get your un-education here - schools and in public discourse. When
liberal intellectuals (does that constitute an oxymoron!?!) do bring it up there are
two camps: libs who disdain all of WT and want to flush it down the WC, including, the
Enlightenment-component for it smacks of tradition which makes them upchuck;
those who still like Enlightenment component and will only wax praise on parts of it."
On the rare occasions that it is taught in elementary school, high school and
college it is taught in a negative vein. Do you remember: "Black Power" ? We say:
"WT Power." Liberal social experimentation has always been bad for America!
American History which was made predominately by white males (85% should be
about them) should be
taught and World History should be 85% concerned with WT in elementary and high
schools. Presently, 65% of American History textbooks are negative about America.
American and World History (and Culture) textbooks should be 75% to 85%
positive and truthful and 15 to 25% negative and truthful. American History is
largely positive.
More than a year of bi-lingual education in elementary and high schools hurts
Hispanics in high school, the work place and college, studies show. Libs don't care; they
just want to feel good about themselves at the expense of others (like zapping pride
from poor, elderly, disabled: they force social services on those who don't need or
deserve it; they force recipients to take things that they don't need. Not in the Western
Tradition!).
Learn your native tongue and culture at home, in institutions and organizations
devoted to particular cultures and to a small degree in college. Don't hold back
young minds. Primarily: Melting Pot; Secondarily: Your individual culture. Too many
states are taking a multi-cultural approach and too many states are requiring too much
bi-lingual; this constitutes bad policy. Let's not forget failed sex ed. Western Europe,
especially, U.K. and France are rethinking multi-cultural for the damage it has wrought.
America is great because of its melting pot nature and secondarily because of
positive elements that other cultures have added to it. The core must reign supreme!
