TRUTH AND PROPAGANDA IN POLITICALLY CORRECT AMERICA -- Next 
Independent Policy Forum (8/14/01)

Although comedian George Carlin's infamous routine, "Seven Words You
Can't Say on TV," has become outdated today many ideas are
considered too "politically incorrect" to discuss in polite society.
According to popular Los Angeles talk-radio host Larry Elder, many
sacred cows -- about racism and sexism, health care, welfare,
education, the family, drug laws, the media, crime, gun control, and
more -- are soft-headed distortions that have worsened America's
social problems. If "the truth shall make you free," then, says
Elder, these myths need a serious reality check -- before we forget
what truth and freedom look like. Please join us as Larry Elder
discusses what's really wrong with America and how a free people,
rather than an intrusive government, can fix it.

Praise for TEN THINGS YOU CAN'T SAY IN AMERICA by Larry Elder:

"TEN THINGS YOU CAN'T SAY IN AMERICA is one of the few books that
delivers more than it promises. People like Elder are needed to blow
the whistle on what is really happening."
   -- THOMAS SOWELL, Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution

"Larry Elder is a fresh voice on the scene and deserves a listen and a read."
   -- NEW YORK POST

"Give Elder full credit for courage and candor. He writes what he has
to say without defensiveness or any implication that he is pleading
for understanding. Elder may be viewed as a heretic by the academic
and media establishments, but his views seem close to those of many
black Americans."
