What exactly is his message? That Fitchburg is now a dictatorship where a ruling oligarchy decides who will be permitted to speak and who won't.<br /><br />Fitchburg needs to get rid of Councilor Starr immediately. He has very strange ideas about political life and the local community.Michael Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17489929697997071892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695096.post-87070052603694282982010-03-11T05:45:04.036-08:002010-03-11T05:45:04.036-08:00In his book Catholicism and Modernity, Professor J...In his book Catholicism and Modernity, Professor James Hitchcock explained the role of the media in the process of manipulating people to accept secularism: "The media's alleged commitment to 'pluralism' is at base a kind of hoax. The banner of pluralism is raised in order to win toleration for new ideas as yet unacceptable to the majority. Once toleration has been achieved, public opinion is systematically manipulated first to enforce a status of equality between the old and the new, then to assert the superiority of the new over the old. A final stage is often the total discrediting, even sometimes the banning, of what had previously been orthodox."<br /><br />I don't know if my letter will ever see the light of day at the Sentinel & Enterprise. The Worcester Telegram & Gazette has censored my letters in the past. <br /><br />So much for the marketplace of ideas.Paul Anthony Melansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08455719838570381999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695096.post-8629862503419842382010-03-11T04:54:57.271-08:002010-03-11T04:54:57.271-08:00Kevin Starr is an embarassment to Fitchburg City g...Kevin Starr is an embarassment to Fitchburg City government.
