Actually, Ms. Spears is associated with solid state physics, not astrophysics, as you will see if you visit her website : br> — Steve Black br> Charlotte, NC /p> p> YOU HAD TO ASK? br> Re: R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.’s Never Ending Race : br> To attempt an answer to Mr. Tyrrell’s rhetorical question, “Why is race still the liberals’ burning issue?” we must consider that the people to whom the term “liberal” is being applied today, are not the people to whom it used to be applied. Today it means what I call the “self-styled liberals,” who are, in actuality, the antithesis of liberal. They are people who want bigger and more powerful Central Government, of which they mean to be a part, with essentially unlimited power to order the lives and behavior of people of “lesser intellect” than they, which is to say everyone who disagrees with them in even the slightest detail. To achieve this end that mean to eradicate all vestiges of individualism and personal responsibility, replacing it with group identity politics, and entitlements for preferred minorities and “victim groups,” who will, of course, keep voting these “liberals” into positions of more and more power. This is a sobering, not to say frightening prospect. br> —
