But, yes, I do think people, and not just Polonians, need to know your story. I deeply admire the courage of African-Americans, and what they have achieved, but I still think that if the Zeitgiest suddenly turned against them, it wouldn't matter how brave, how organised they were. What Kipling called The Great Game is a cruel and ruthless one. But the good news is that it is soon coming to its end, and God's will will be done on earth.Sue Knight's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12597157298218651144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4174606706448853915.post-25396121917241802742012-07-16T04:14:00.832-07:002012-07-16T04:14:00.832-07:00Sue, need to know the bible quote, or need to know...Sue, need to know the bible quote, or need to know what happened to me at IU? If the latter, please feel free to share this link with Polonians. I can almost guarantee that they will ignore you. We, as a community, just don't care. And that is why it can happen. Members of other groups who are organized ... it doesn't happen to them. If the ethnicities had been reversed ... if a Polish American prof had done this to a black student ... the Polish American prof would have been fired, and the black student would have been taken care of by the universities. Because African Americans have organized and demanded their rights. I admire that. If you haven't seen it already, please see the documentary "Eyes on the Prize." It's inspirational. More Polonians should be inspired by it.D Goskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09353495585591945881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4174606706448853915.post-84983974760653080452012-07-15T19:30:06.266-07:002012-07-15T19:30:06.266-07:00Thanks Danusha.

Is he powerful in the world of Academe? I had seen him more as someone who is riding the zeitgeist and getting the plaudits that come from doing so. If I had written his "Bambi" trilogy, wouldn't I have got the same applause - and i am nobody?<br /><br />If the PC changed over night, and some other group was being picked on, I don't think they would cope with it any better than we do. That is why I feel that Muslims are in an odd and vulnerable position at the moment. <br /><br />American Academe does set the Zeitgeist to some extent, as it is, presumably the most powerful bastion of "the wisdom of the world". However, the strings are pulled elsewhere. <br /><br />Ephesians explains it clearly: "Put on the complete suit of armour from God that you may be able to stand firm against the machinations of the Devil; because we have a wrestling, not against blood and flesh, but against the governments, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the wicked spirit forces in the heavenly places." <br /><br />The world rulers of this darkness are the wicked spirit forces in the heavenly places.Sue Knight's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12597157298218651144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4174606706448853915.post-63432017844681738072012-07-14T04:34:00.262-07:002012-07-14T04:34:00.262-07:00Sue, no, I did not post this.

That that's exactly WHY it happened. <br /><br />Predators know what victims they can safely attack, and what others they'd best leave alone. That Bohunks in Academia have zero allies makes them vulnerable. <br /><br />I find Polonia's obsession with badmouthing Jan Tomasz Gross to be despicable. If Polonia organized, JTG would present no problems. Blaming others for their own failures is a sorry spectacle.D Goskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09353495585591945881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4174606706448853915.post-56522689434141866072012-07-14T04:30:36.206-07:002012-07-14T04:30:36.206-07:00Charles, what's going on?

And I suspect things have got worse, not better, since them. Did you link this article to the PMI fb group? I ask as someone has just said that Professor Jan Gross being a Princeton Professor is a guarantee of something or other - essentially that he is debunk-proof. These days I wouldn't like to say what that that might guarantee, beyond a spot on accuracy as to the current Political Correctness. By the way, I assume your being working class would have been a plus, had you only been of the "correct" working class, not the "incorrect" one? And hello Charles, I hope you survive to your "beloved Autumn". I love all the seasons, but Autumn above all. It seems that Adam, our first father, probably first opened his eyes in an Autumn garden. As things are now, IF I make my threescore years and ten, I only have 5 Autumns left. Its not enough, is it?Sue Knight's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12597157298218651144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4174606706448853915.post-45185376997425747932012-07-13T14:55:18.861-07:002012-07-13T14:55:18.861-07:00Christina Pacosz sent this kind comment but could ...Christina Pacosz sent this kind comment but could not post it for some reason.

It has me feeling like General Custer, in “They Died With Their Boots On” standing there alone, torn and bloodied, all his compatriots slain, out of ammo, drawing his sword against 10,000 warriors who are racing toward him like a pack of enraged and starving lionesses who smell the blood of a fat, wounded wildebeest who strayed from the herd, my friend telling me Mercury is going retro again and even God looks doubtful saying, “If you survive July, you’ll be a better man for it”. <br /><br />So, to survive to my beloved Autumn, I’m living out of my reality Embodying the spirits of those who have worn this path before: Victor Frankl who when he realized he had no control learned to romance a rotten fish head while vacationing in Dachau or the Marines fighting there way out of Chosin, -50 below and out numbered 100 to 1<br /><br />But, as always, I’m expecting a miracle. Perhaps the seventh cavalry to charge over the hill sending my troubles to flight. Or perhaps remembering that “This Too Shall Pass”.Charles Dundeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08530562700145298328noreply@blogger.com
