AB - Sunday, July 29, 1984 - North Shore News Colonel Collins last stand? ERE’S something for Professor Robin Ridington, the UBC anthropology expert who, judging from his letters, seems to think that Hitler and | used to drink tea together. The prof is an anthropologist and, having measured my head, has pronounced it lacking in the correct liberal qualities. He would like to see me sizzle at the stake. Failing that, | should be boiled in oil or cast into space without a spacesuit. Well, | have never had a high opinion of an- thropologists. And my opi- nion of the prof could be measured in millimetres. Not because he believes that Adolf and Doug were or are on the same _ wavelength. Plenty of academics are short on brains, and sometimes the get this Stral ht Doug Collins more dense they are the more doctorates they collect. Mark MacGuigan 1s a case in point, he being equipped with two doctorates, and now having gone to his reward as a judge of the federal court for hav- ing done nothing more than show dog-like devotion to Trudeau. No, it is for entirely different reasons that Doug the Bad disapproves of Ridington. In the first place, the prof isn’t capable of recognizing a harmless fellow. Here | am,a journalistic Colonel Custer if ever there was one, making my Last Stand on the North Shore, and Ridington is riding with the Indians. You would think he would have some liberal compassion. But no. It is scalping time, and Collins must be done tn.

In Manitoba, the socialist- controlled Human Rights Commission is recommen- ding legislation that will be better than a banquet for Ridington and his like. It plans to outlaw literature that ‘‘unreasonably affronts human dignity.’’ “‘Or.’’ Dale Gibson, the commission chairman, says it can be hate literature if what ts written tends to make people feel sorry for a group. Nor must you say that a group has low 1Qs. Gibson says that this and other bright ideas will make the Manitoba Human Rights Code ‘‘the most ad- vanced in North America.”’ Will anthropologists who claim that Japanese IQs are higher than those of African Bushmen be put into solitary confinement?
