I have been trying to avoid debates about the World Trade Center here. Since Steve posted the article about Churchill, several points are in order.
1. Churchill is a Native American, who has written extensively about the Holocaust of Native Americans. His thesis has not been warmly received. So I can understand why he may express some insensitivity about the slaughter of Americans -- even if some of the "Americans" were not really Americans are all. 2. Churchill's strong language makes for easy criticism, but once Churchill is picked off, then the pressure put on people like my colleague, George Wright, for making a couple statements that were taken out of context, becomes acceptable. The attack on freedom of speech always begins at the margin. -- Michael Perelman Economics Department California State University [EMAIL PROTECTED] Chico, CA 95929 530-898-5321 fax 530-898-5901
