<Demanding stiff penalties for hate crimes creates ever more ways to separate? I think it says we as a nation will not tolerate criminal behavior based on bigotry...a unifying theme.> ***************** Ok, well I guess we are not going to agree on this one. I would much prefer: "We as a nation will not tolerate criminal behavior." Period Constantly calling attention to differences is what separates. Why is that such a difficult concept to entertain? Plus, as I see it, all crime involves some sort of bigotry. It just seems to me that many in this country are caught in a constant battle of one-upmanship to the point of ridiculousness. They won't be satisfied until we are all guilt ridden over every choice we make. JFH
