Machiavelli strikes again

Machiavelli strikes again

Dear Sir,

I am disgusted at the obviously low level of intelligence shown in students in their letters to Salient. I am shocked that people in an institution of learning such as this can hold such pathetic, half-baked pseudo-Marxist ideals.

This leftist drivel is poorly thought out and based on [unclear: retttmlw] assumptions made by people totally ignorant as to the state of the case.

OUT-OF IT DULL-WITTED FOOL

My disgust is aimed particularly at a certain section of this community who concern them selves with the state of affairs in South Africa and its partner of "crime" Rhodesia.

We all hear how the coloured people of Southern Africa are refused their basic human rights but this statement relies on a falsehood. It assumes that the coloured people of Southern Africa deserves rights of any kind.

I would argue that any group. Black, White or indiferent, which cannot take rights for itself deserves nothing.

Any weak group must be put down by the stronger. To deserve rights a race must be strong enough to take them. The strong cannot be expected to carry the weak and thereby weaken themselves. As in the wild, the weak must perish.

In the world today there are too weak groups; Liberals and Blacks and both must be destroyed before they drag the world down the their level.
