Rudy, you're saying that the "Ten Points" was written as a counter-argument to Horowitz's ads? If that is the case, I am extremely disappointed in the author of "Ten Points".
He had the opportunity to rebut Horowitz's claims in a rational, deliberate manner but he chose instead to compose what I can only term a diatribe. If the author is indeed in favor or reparations, why did he choose to send the argument into the realm of Theatre of the Absurd (I KNEW I could find a use for that dang English degree!)?

I would guess that it was, but I'm not sure simply because these 10 point arguments are used every now and then. All I know is that there is a lot of hot air in all these people - from the supporters to the opposers. Everyone piggybacks the situation for their own personal benefit. Horowitz is almost forgotten, and I could say the same about the new Black Panthers in a sense. How about the white kids that all of a sudden became pro-reparations but went away just as quickly as they appeared? All forgotten.
