Dear Editor, “SOCIALISM is GOOD” has been a discussion held in the Letters section of this newspaper, and it has opened up another line of inquiry. Technology has enabled people to reach way back in their Ancestry, in an attempt to discover where we came from, and what kind of people shaped our beliefs.
In particular, I believe I’ve discovered an ancestor of a neighbor and letter writer, based on behavior and notions, that might enable a connection to a relative living over 2000 years ago, when a fellow named Jesus was sharing with us how we should act towards our fellow man. Of course, at the time, Jesus had His detractors, and we will refer to His main detractor as ‘Citizen X’ who was always there to “correct” Jesus’ incorrect notions.
Citizen X came upon Jesus feeding thousands with just a few loaves and fishes. Citizen X was disgusted, and scolded Jesus, saying, “You are destroying these people’s self-reliance! What you’re doing is BAD, BAD, BAD!”
