"a very nice woman with whom you disagree"

I can agree with this statement about CarolC. We don't often agree, but I think I have some idea of her viewpoint. I just do not agree that her world-view at times has much to do with the world I happen to live in.

OK, CarolC, how about this: If al the people who are caught speeding and given tickets include a number, say 30%, who are black, does this mean that the headline "Officials: Blacks subject to penalties for speeding" is a fair representation of the real situation?

And if there were 60% who were white, would the statement "Officials: Whites subject to penalties for speeding" be any better? The IMPLICATION is that others are NOT included.

If the mere mention of a date and a country in the same wentance provides so many here with such definite PROOF of a vast conspiracy, why should I let this statement by the media go by unremarked?








Were ALL Moslems monitored? NO

Were ONLY Moslems monitored? NO

Can you imply that those who were monitored were Moslem? NO


The FACTS are that SOME Moslems, and some others, were monitored. Should we now exempt Moslems ( or Jews, or blacks, or whites) from investigation, regardless of any other evidence, if they ARE Moslem ( or Jews, or blacks, or whites)?

Thus I feel the headline and lead paragraph are biased.
