Snake, you haven't made a xenophobic attack in almost a day, have you lowered your caffeine intake? BTW, one of your heroes had a bad day: You know that you are practicing the same sort of pompous exclusionary intolerance that you think you are above. In that very statement when you lump SE in with John Rocker you are practicing a form of socially acceptable intolerance. The sort that is directed to people who hold the wrong beliefs, fat people, white middle aged men, the rich, housewives, devout christians etc... Dennis Miller actually had a pretty cool 'rant' on this topic this week: Of course if you are offended by the word F%@# you might wanna skip this ;) hbo.com (as that link ages it will be the wrong 'rant' I am linking to the one on intolerance.) here are a couple good quotes: What I do object to are fringe groups who go beyond the notion of tolerance and demand our approval. ... Whatever happened to the genteel art of sitting back and letting someone go on and on thinking he's right while you bask securely in the power of the knowledge that he or she is completely full of shit? ... Liberals in particular are guilty of this supposedly well-meaning recidivism. Honestly, it baffles me that the same people who blast away at President Bush's selection of a religious conservative for Attorney General won't give George W. any kudos for other cabinet choices which include blacks, Jews, Asians, Hispanics and women. Does a fundamentalist Christian not also represent a valued strand in our collective fabric? Who's really being intolerant of other peoples differences here? And by the way, who cares if Ashcroft's religion prohibits him from dancing? Who wants to see John Ashcroft dancing anyway? Heh. regards, cAPS
