Oh gawd... You are going take Jesse Jacksons word that Blacks and Jews had road blocks.... Get real. Wake up. Do you not get it? When JJ does not get his way they he plays the ONLY card he has. One of these days America will wake up to who really sees color of skin first. I wish MLK was alive to see what his dream has been used for. Drew

Excuse me--I am trying be open-minded about the Jews and the blacks.... ...had his party obstruct blacks from going to the polls and prevented jews and blacks from having their votes counted... I can visualize this with the blacks: You set up the roadblocks with the Highway Patrol (of course, not using any black officers!) and the dogs (for intimidation). As each car shows up, you let the whites through, and pull the blacks off to the side. You just need a big enough parking area to hold all the black folks. You've got the dogs snarling, and you just have to use some pretense, like examining paperwork, checking the vehicles, etc., just long enough until the polls close. Then the officers apologize and let all these folks go. No harm, no foul (hah-hah). There's thousands of Gore votes down the drain. Where I'm stuck, is with the Jews. How do you do this? How do you know it's a car full of Jews? Or, are you saying they just don't count the Jewish ballots at the polls? Is there some way to tell that a ballot was cast by a Jew? Can you help me with this, based on what you have heard or read? Thanks.

You might be a good politburo censor with an attitude like that. Merely because one expresses strong opinions about certain things does not mean they are closed-minded. That's an old attack and attempt to bait. Frankly, I've had more experience in academia and life with left-wing politics and economics than most people living outside of a Socialist country. It has influenced my opinions. And, while I appreciate your offer to tell me how and what to think and say -- "are you not capable of saying "interesting point of view - not mine - but good to know how someone else thinks?"" -- I respectfully decline your invitation. Of course I'm capable of saying that, and have, if that's what I think in a particular instance. By the same token, when I think somebody's ideas are off the wall, I'd likely tell them. Just because I like abstract art and jazz music doesn't mean somebody shouldn't express their viewpoint that the former is just ink blots or paint spilled on a canvas, and the latter merely noise. I'd rather hear their true viewpoint than some smarmy, canned response. That's one problem with political correctness, which is becoming to be realized as a threat to our democratic freedoms. It suppresses peoples' expression and forces them to disguise their real feelings, and flies in the face of free speech.
