Subject: RE: BS: Ham Sandwich Debacle
Well it is strange Ron because I have no particular affection for Muslims and I entirely agree that no appeasement of Islamo-fascists is necessary e.g in the cartoon fracas. But I don't like Fox or the lesser sites stirring up a hunt for such enemies where they don't exist.
The weird thing now is you and I screaming as to what a not-big-deal (very small deal) it is, and yet for opposite reasons. I think we agree that we don't know the specifics.
I read a lot of it and I don't have the initiative to confirm which is the UPI report, but the way I remember it is some louts tossed a paper bag with an unwrapped ham steak in the center of the lunch table, then smugly waited for one of the Somali boys to reach in.
To me that was the tosser's way of reaffirming his approval of the pig head incident, but I could be reading too much into it. I agree that the kids should not be little whiners for any reason, but we don't really know the extent to which they were. And we do know they didn't start any of this. At age 15 I had not yet perfected my Clint Eastwood demeanor, and I was born here. I just see the burden more on the kids who started it, I guess.
Peace I want some of those little eloquence pills you're taking.
