Of course they do.  All lives matter.  Black lives, white lives, yellow lives, red lives, even redneck lives.  And let's not forget the lives of black cops.  They too matter.  Did someone well-placed proclaim that black lives don't<\/em> matter?  Who? When? Where can I find him?<\/span><\/p>\n

All lives matter.  It follows that black lives matter, including the lives of the peaceful, law-abiding, hard-working black residents of Ferguson, Missouri.  And because these black lives matter, it matters that laws be enforced.  All reasonable laws from traffic laws to laws against looting and arson.
<\/span><\/p>\n

As if to prove once again that that there is no coward like a university administrator, Smith College President Kathleen McCartney, after having said in an e-mail to students that all lives matter, has retracted her statement and apologized<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Horribile dictu<\/em>.  And yet another proof that the universities of the land, most of them, have turned  into leftist seminaries and hothouses of political correctness.  And yet another example of abdication of authority. <\/span><\/p>\n

And so I pinch myself once again.  Am I awake?  Or is this all a bad dream?  Could this stuff really be happening?<\/span><\/p>\n

Memo to President McCartney:  grow a pair, or the female equivalent thereof.  You don't apologize for speaking the truth; you stand up for the truth and fight back against the the foolish know-nothings who you are supposed to be 'educating.'<\/span><\/p>\n
