Letters to the Editor February 28, 2004 Perhaps this new Mel Gibson flick, “The Passion of the Christ,” will lead young people to stop and ponder, “What would Jesus do?” Not content with tattoos, piercings and brandings, today’s rebellious youth might consider dawning crowns of thorns, lancing their sides, driving spikes through their hands and feet and hanging around on wooden crosses. It’s a new trend: “The Fashion of the Christ.” I.R. Reverent March 9, 2004 The “Privatization” Blueprint of Bush and those about him imply a return to feudalism, with corporations assuming the role of principalities, grand duchies, and the like, with CEOs and other coporate heirarchs excercising the powers and roles of the petty kings, princes, and grand dukes of the past. Bush himself, of course, will exercise the role and powers of Emperor. Doing away with the real estate tax speeds up the process and strengthens hereditary dynasties already established. Meanwhile, carefully stacked legislatures and carefully appointed courts distribute grants of powers and titles of “Economic Nobility” lavishly to the comfortable and well endowed. The “Good Old Days,” indeed. Now we know what they mean by “conservative”! Adam Meahan Ohlfahrt P.S.: Alaska will, of course, retain its traditional role as colony.
