Article-I.D.: nsc.189 Posted: Fri Jul 2 10:34:35 1982 Received: Fri Jul 9 01:34:23 1982 This is am excerpt from the book "The Rape of the A*P*E*" by Allan Sherman. In many ways, it is one of the best books I've ever read. Judge for yourself: On July 20 1970,reorter Collin Dangaard typed up a verbatim copy of the Declaration of Independence, leaving out only the signatures, and approached citizens on the streets of Miami, asking them to sign it. Two called the document "Commie junk." One said, "Be careful who you show that antigovernment stuff to." Dangaard then submitted the Declaration to 300 young adults at a Youth for Christ meeting, asking them to describe what kind of person would author such a statement. Among thier answers were: "A Communist, someone against our country." "Someone who does not have any sense of responsibility." "A redneck revolutionist." "Someone ought to tell the FBI about this kind of rubbish." Yes, I feel this is a representative example of the way in which the people of this country have lost sight of the ideals under which we were set up. katic (....!nsc!katic)
