William Bennett - former Bush Cabinet Secretary of Education or was it
Morals? - yesterday, on his syndicated radio program -declared that to abort
Black babies would reduce the rate and cost of crime in the United States.
Does not say this country - as it goes broke - needs to cut the industrial
cost of prisons currently used to warehouse (concentrate) the country's
African-American and poor populations. Does not say he is a racist. Does not
ask why there was not an abortionist before the birth of Tom DeLay, Donald
Rumsfeld, Karl Rove, Paul Wolfolitz, Bill Frist, George Bush, Ken Lay, etc.
- among those indicted for crimes, soon to be, or close to being so. Does
not say he is an out-and-out racist. Does not say, George Bush I was with
you - and I remain with you - when you ignored the white and poor blacks
unable to evacuate themselves from New Orleans.
Does not say he read Jonathan Swift without irony but belief as to the
necessity of certain kinds of solutions. Certainly indicates he read "Mein
Killer" with a certain lust in his heart.
Yes, I (too) am enraged.
