I came across this disturbing proposal from the Opposition Party - the Liberals who else? - in the sports section of the Montreal Gazette by Red Fisher. Apparently, they want Detroit Red Wings player Ted Lindsay removed from the Hall of Fame for hurling racist slurs at the Montreal Canadiens during the 1953-54 Stanley Cup final.
I can't seem to find any information on this - including on the Liberal Party website. Yuk. I actually went on their site! I had to dip my hands in rubbing alcohol.
Is this their idea of leadership? I'm convinced we are led by fools. Of course, this opens up a can of worms; a Pandora's Box. What happens if we find out if the Canadiens did the same thing somewhere else? Never open the heart of history for the present. It is an unhealthy exercise. This is not justice. It's the bankruptcy of intellectualism and governance.
As people who read this blog already know, I'm no fan of taking what we know now and redirecting them to the past. It's ridiculous to do this - especially considering the fact that 9along with the PC charged world we live in) we select where we choose to impose this draconian exercise. This is the wrong way to deal with revisionism.
Ty Cobb must be spinning.
