In my last post I said:

Stop the raids which attempt to cast too broad a net, and in the process end up victimizing honest, hard working citizens. Your racism is showing, there.

I then left and went out to work on laying subfloor in my barn. Hard work is a good time for reflection, and I found myself pondering my response to pdq. And it became clear to me that while pdq and I are going to disagree mightily on this subject, there is absolutely nothing s/he has said that would justify my suggesting that s/he is a racist. I am embarassed that I let my passion get away from me, and I hope that my sincere apology for that statement is accepted. It is offered without reservation and sincerely.

Mea culpa, mea culpa. Now, ..... back to the discussion.
