THE GENERAL'S TWO CENTS

Carla agreed that as long as a specific disclaimer was included in envelopes containing both Prop 1 stuff and regs stuff, Thomas was protected by the First Amendment, and probably within Council Process. Because Carla hadn't mentioned any political, spiritual, or philosophical objection to the concept of Proposition One, Thomas was surprised when she treated Proposition One to special, subtle, public treatment.

As the Spirit of Free Dissemination of Information would demand, ALL WAYS FREE, Summer, 1993, printed the text of Proposition One. It is not, however, exactly clear what spirit was responsible for the cryptic little preface phrased in vaguely familiar buzz words:

"Politically correct? Are you?
I'm not, and hope never to be;
for political correctness eliminates individuality
and therefore individual rights."
(Reality Check: pg. 34)

Sadly, neither the General nor his Propaganda Sista had the integrity to confront Thomas with their objections in anything nearing a respectful manner.

If Thomas had any idea Carla and/or the General might have considered Proposition One to be "politically correct," or in anyway unRainbow, he would have asked, "Why?"
