Hey Shane-- have I ever told you what a disingenuous jerk you are on the Polanski issue? If I've neglected to do so, consider this a correction of that lapse. First, I don't know why you feel you have to follow the path followed by Grover-Furr by claiming that some on this list expressed "obscene delight...in the persecution of Roman Polanski," when first.. no such persecution occurred in the real world, and secondly nobody on this list expressed any delight, obscene or puritanical in Mr. Polanski's trials-- in this case attempt to avoid trials-- and tribulations with the prosecutors from California. All that was expressed was the recognition that Mr. Polanski had raped a child and that unlike others less connected, less wealthy he was able to flee prosecution and continue to live comfortably, while his wealthy and connected friends pretended Polanski was a great artist whose art not only outweighed his rape of a child, but might actually justify it. So if you want to line up with those wealthy, connected people who are so open-minded they blame the child for the rape, go right ahead, but that makes you the person expressing an obscene delight. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shane Mage" <[email protected]> ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: [email protected] Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
