Demographic projections are shaky at the best of times, and even if they are precise about the present, they cannot be precise about what has not yet occurred. <BR/><BR/>But all that can be discussed, and the methodology can be criticised in open debate. This is exactly how it should be for Steyn's book, for David Irving, the Bible, the Koran, and anything else. What is happening in this case, if I've understood it correctly, is the demand for special consideration (did Steyn demand a cover story and control of the artwork?), and when that was not granted, an attempt to smother debate. <BR/><BR/>I grant you, this is a hole of our own digging, a weapon for those of whatever persuasion to require that 'respect' be imposed from above, by law. That is no way to gain respect, but is remarkably efficient in stirring resentment.NoolaBeulahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02181815160785834692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19748732.post-66033428816706842802007-12-16T00:45:00.000+00:002007-12-16T00:45:00.000+00:00Also, I seem to remember that there was another gr...Also, I seem to remember that there was another group of 'civilised' and 'enlightened' Europeans back in the thirties who came out with almost the exact same nonsense about being over by another group of folks of Middle Eastern descent.<BR/><BR/>Presumably, you'd label their opponents as the 'politically correct gone mad as well'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19748732.post-40563761595678394852007-12-15T01:14:00.000+00:002007-12-15T01:14:00.000+00:00So let's get this straight, Mark Steyn got a cover...So let's get this straight, Mark Steyn got a cover story in this magazine plus however many pages that entails and CIC asked for an equally prominent amount of space to provide a rebuttal.<BR/><BR/>Now, to me that sounds fair enough. After all, how many people bother reading the letters page?<BR/><BR/>As for your complaint about them sueing Macleans. Sounds like a case of the pot calling the kettle black since the pro-israel lobby has been using the same tactic for years.<BR/><BR/>As for Mark Steyn's "theory". <BR/><BR/>Well, his numbers just don't add up.<BR/><BR/>http://thecrossedpond.com/?p=139<BR/><BR/>http://www.johannhari.com/archive/article.php?id=1082Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19748732.post-86387456216498070462007-12-11T21:44:00.000+00:002007-12-11T21:44:00.000+00:00Acute sensitivity is the biggest growth area on th...Acute sensitivity is the biggest growth area on the spiritual market these days, and it ain't just Muslims. In fact, it started long ago. I know. I was there. In the Seventies with the Feminists, where every phrase and gesture was picked at for its offensive potential. All that's happened is that it has been globalised and now everyone (except white, heterosexual males who are not disabled) has a share in the market. Truly democratic, it is.NoolaBeulahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02181815160785834692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19748732.post-2109400095288598522007-12-11T07:47:00.000+00:002007-12-11T07:47:00.000+00:00Someone has got too much time on their hands.
