Just remember the story I once told, CarolC, about the racist author who was invited to speak before at a black college...

This story was told by a black preacher that I was working with back in the 60's and went some thing like this:

There was a racist author who had written a book about the inferiority of balck people and had been asked to speak before a balck audience at a southern black college.

The author stepped up to the microphone and calmly said, "All you folks are descendants of apes."

Well, this didn't go over too well with this balck college aged audience and the audience went berserk. Some of the folks just jumped up and down and screamed their displeasure with what the author had just said...

After a couple minutes of those in the audience jumping up and down in displeasure the auther walked to the microphone, calmly said I rest my case" and walked off the stage...

Now I lerned a lot from that story and that's why I relate it here...

I don't want anyone to think that I, in any fashion, wish to control anyone's right to say whatever they might think but...

... hey, keep it one your terms, not theirs... We have been sucked into their conversations for 5 years... If you want another 5 years---- or 50 years --- of being sucked into their conversations then keep responding to thier inapproprite posts.

I loves ya, CarolC, but you gotta give yer heart a break and just out flank these folks, who are morally bankrupt, with your head...

Shake the dust off your robes and move to a higher ground...
