(I’ve been writing columns for many years before I began placing them on a web site. Every once in a while, I am going to print one of them, this time from November 8, 1993)
On the “60 Minutes” show of November 7 1993, CBS showed a piece glorifying a temporarily jailed monster, due to be released in 1995. He is black, about 25, and a member of the “Crips” gang, Los Angeles division. He grew up in South Central L.A., near Florence and Normandy, scene of the Reginald Denny attempted murder and the outbreak of the L.A. riots. He readily admitted to murder (an unknown number, but ’plenty’), rape, robbery, shootings, and every heinous crime as defined by the term. His command of the English Language is minimal, but – here it comes – he has written a book! I have written four books, hundreds of newspaper columns, given hundreds of speeches, read over 40 books a year, use perfect grammar, have a high I.Q., and still have never appeared on “60 Minutes.” His book is titled “MONSTER,” a perfectly descriptive title for this sub-human vermin.
During the interview, he boasted of hating America, and promising when released, to work for its overthrow. Not with violence, but other means not clearly defined, probably to alleviate the parole board’s worries of his once again transgressing. I was absolutely disgusted with the “60 Minutes” piece. A million dollars worth of publicity for a guttural work, authored by a piece of human trash, describing his sub-human, violent, indescribable atrocities, committed upon innocents.. Shame on you CBS! More shame than could possibly be urged upon you if every single viewer complained. A disgusting segment on TV’s most watched show.
This bum should not tell his story on network TV. He should have been fried in the electric chair years ago. Capital punishment should be practiced on a daily basis in America. In Egypt, if you are caught committing robbery, your finger is cut off. Not many people rob! Those losing a finger in an accident, are furnished an ID saying the loss happened in an accident, not because of a robbery punishment. In spite of the hideous conditions in Egypt, and I mean hideous, there is little crime. In Cairo, people literally live in “The City of the Dead,” trash is everywhere, there are no traffic rules, and it is just unbearable it is so crude. Even so, anyone can walk the streets at night with no fear. The water is un-drinkable, but you are safe. Crime is not only punished, but an unmistakable identifying mark is placed upon the guilty.
The animal interviewed on “60 Minutes,” and thousands of his ilk, should have an identifying mark placed upon them. They should be reduced to a little box of ashes. Wise up America. Get rid of the criminals. We don’t need more jail space. We need more executions! Why not deprive a felon of his driver’s license, cut off a convicted robber’s finger, and execute all murderers? The way to eliminate crime is to scare the bejesus out of potential criminals. That is true deterrence. America is enslaved by criminals who fear nothing. Government not only attempts to take away our guns, but insists on pardoning, paroling, and freeing human garbage such as appeared on Sunday’s “60 Minutes.” I am damned sick of the publicity and actuality!
So much for 14 years ago. Gold is well above $900 now, which has been expected. How far up in failing dollars will it go before a major correction? Since we have had at least 400% inflation since its last peak of $850, does $3400 sound about right? $216 for silver? If these metals do go to the above, and a gallon of gas or milk have quadrupled as well, you’d better keep your gold and silver. If metals have quadrupled and other consumer prices have gone up but a little, with the Dow sitting at 2,000, sell your metals and buy stocks. No, I have no crystal ball, but the buck is at a low, the housing situation is far from the bottom, and the euro is close to $1.50. It started at 82 cents.
A friend at church told me after service Sunday, that he almost called me last week to buy $25,000 worth of gold, but he changed his mind and invested it at 5%. That makes sense, doesn’t it? With 10% or more inflation, he is being decapitalized, as is most of America. Wake up people!
