Please, please do not ask me to prove a negative. I am not against hispanics, native americans, or any other groups of people. I'm not asking you to prove a negative. I'm just calling you a blatent racist. From your previous posts, it was clear that you thought Mr Lee was innocent because he was Chinese, and for no other reason. Racism isn't restricted to negative attitudes or beliefs, it has to do with believing certain races possess certain charactoristics, and making value judgements based on those (often false) beliefs. Ipso facto, you, madam, are a bigot. As for Dr. Lee, if the man is quilty of treason, I believe he should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. If he is not guilty, I believe we should leave him alone. Would you please take a moment to think about that? If he's guilty, then he'll be punished -- but, under our system of law, he has to be tried to be found guilty. So, how can he be left alone if he is suspected of a crime? Or, would you rather that guilt be determined BEFORE a trial? Perhaps in your value system guilt is a matter of race -- ie, races you favor are not capable of wrongdoing? I hope I am making myself clear. Nope. Unless, that is, that your intent is to show that facts and logic have nothing to do with formation of your opinions. jim
