p>This is an absolute gem of an article. Beautifully written and
profoundly insightful. It should be required reading in any Lit.
101 class and, more importantly, perhaps freshman political
science. This is a smacking rebuke of the silliness that is
political correctness. Again, beautifully written and a sincere
tribute to Jack Webb. I am positive that any remaining friend or
family member must be most proud of this very poignant article.

Your piece on Jack Webb moved me to tears. I grew up watching Dragnet and when I joined the Army in 1965 I had a drill sergeant in basic training who was uncannily like Jack Webb’s “D.I.” Between two tours in Vietnam, college in the 70’s, and just living to my present age of 56, I have learned one big truth: Jack was right: the world really is made up of black and white or good and evil. There are good guys and there are bad guys and everything else is unimportant.
