Can you say "suspension"?

Rut:

I do not know where to begin in a response to your response to my post, except to say that I am NOT (read my lips), NOT narrow minded.

I have been a liberal, prgressive, pro-union, radical left-wing Democrat all of my life; and I am an unabashed capitalist too. I will defend to the death your first amendent rights of free speech. Having clarified my position, I have no choice but to take you to task for playing the race card yourself.

Is there injustice in this county and the world? Yes there is. Is there racial hate, ethinic hate, and religious hate in this country and the world? Yes there is.

But I am sick and tired of people that want to move backward rather than forward.

I am sick and tired of people who want to be hyphenated Americans. Many, many people have worked very hard (including paying with their lives) to create a society that makes the color of a person's skin no more important that the color of the person's eyes or hair.

What I am saying applies to a person's sex, religious or lack of religious affiliation, sexual orientation, political party affiliation, and etc.

But until we stop wanting to be hyphenated Americans we will always have to deal with people who want to play the race card or any other type of card.

MTD, Sr.
