Colyn, Ron, Dicky-

Let me personally invite you to come to Lewiston, Maine, and provide your advice directly to those concerned. The result may be a revelation, or not.

The KKK did pay a couple of visits in previous years, so the Lewiston folks are pretty much prepared to deal with most anything. They may not be perfect but they do try to be fair and let everyone express their views.

Your views are probably not as extreme as those of the KKK, given that the KKK is hardly a libertarian organization.

Ron-

At what point should minorities stand up for their rights? Apparently the "ham sandwich" doesn't trigger your thresehold. Would "name-calling" do it for you? How about spitting in their faces? How about sexual harrassment?

Dickey-

Why would anyone expect an end for PC monitoring? As long as there are minorities there is a potential for discrimination. Sometimes as in the Balkins the categories may be submerged for generations only to resurface in bloody civil war. Sometimes the differences are only appreciated as differences, without discrimination. It's a weird world. But don't you think it's unrealistic to expect such issues to end, especially if you don't want people to try to moderate "unacceptable" behavior?

Colyn-

You know some countries with majority Moslem populations actually tolerate Christians, and even Jews. Others are as blatantly discriminatory as you may imagine. But before we condemn them or decide to bomb them into the dark ages, we may want to re-examine our own level of tolerance. "Twaddle" it ain't.
