PAGE FOUR THE BULLETINMOUNT JOY. PA. ® An Editorial I react to being scourged with the lash of collective guilt—as if I personally pour- ed liquor down the alcoholic’s throat, peddled the heroin, mugged the little old lady, created the slum and invent- ed The Bomb! I re-act te the glorification of welfarism over work; Pot over pink lemonade; the Pill over purity; demonstration over dedication; desire over discipline, nihilism over no- bility; selfishness over sacri- fice, hauteur over humility, “rights” over right. I re-act to the portrayal of my American friends as “Fascist beasts” and Ho Chi Minh as Santa Claus; to those who consider love as nothing more than the sex act; who preach ‘‘peace” to promote surrender. I re-act to stu- dent radicals who are so en- amoured of their own worth that they must destroy ail other worths—who are FOR nothing except their “right” to be against everything! I re-act to the stupifying sentimentality of amateur do- gooders who, like carved wooden monkeys, see no evil, speak no evil and hear no evil—even when it runs riot with a shotgun, molotov cock- tail or plastic bomb; who would rewrite Little Red Ri- ding Hood to have her ‘re- habilitate” the wolf while screaming ‘“hatemonger” at the rescuing woodsman! You'd better believe I am a reactionary. In my book, “it’s time all responsible ad- ults began re-acting instead of suffering the insults, in- conveniences and intimida- tions of a noisy minority who would sacrifice their own freedom and ours on the altar of atheistic materialism. If we did, the kooks and the creeps would soon crawl back irito their rocks, and this old world would have time to bind its wounds and re- gain its sense of humour.
