Assassination: the pathetic nonentity's ticket to fame

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
While there is media overload of the dreadful Tucson, Arizona, shooting, one needs to realize that we have this perpetual attraction available to the mentally sick. A narcissistic personality suffering mental illness will seek fame by ridding what he sees as a evil target.

Lee Harvey Oswald targeting JFK. Need I say more?

Norman Mailor's novel treats Oswald, a "pathetic nonentity," with the proper depiction he deserves: Why Kennedy? "It was the largest opportunity he had ever been offered."

Having a ridiculously grandiose self-conception, Oswald wanted to shape history. And he did. As much as that's difficult for us to accept.

MEANWHILE, in a truly more important story--almost wholly ignored--showing the drift of a culture, check out Diana West's disturbing evidence that free speech is ending in Denmark because of the twin assaults of Marxism and Islam. Unfortunately, we won't be too long behind.
