"It is the white race and it alone — its ideologies and inventions — which eradicates autonomous civilizations wherever it spreads, which has upset the ecological balance of the planet, which now threatens the very existence of life itself."Good riddance, too! Liberal "intellectuals" are the true cancer of human history!
Such comments led novelist Tom Wolfe to dismiss Mrs. Sontag as "just another scribbler who spent her life signing up for protest meetings and lumbering to the podium encumbered by her prose style, which had a handicapped parking sticker valid at Partisan Review."

A Fairwell to Susan Sontag...
This from her obituary in the Washington Times:
So you disagree with Susan Sontag politically (as do I) and when she dies you say "Good Riddance"? Thats childish at best. We are talking aobut a human being here. In the words of Ann Coultier, Grow up.
