My point and maybe his, is that there are characteristics representing the overall gang of highjackers, and it is not blond hair, blue eye Swedes. And there are characterstics of people holding up 7-11's and gas stations and in many cases killing the late night shift clerks. Now would you say that the clerks in these places should not allow people with those characterstics to enter or even have their guns loaded and ready when these people enter?

Stan, I am very disappointed by your statement. There are times that our higher brain functions should take over the reptilian ones and this was one of them. This is the kind of mentality that "understands" why blacks should be viewed with suspicion in rich settings, because there were black criminals who robbed a 7-11. It is also the same kind of perspective that allows the terrorists to hate innocent civilians just because they look like the kind of people they have a problem with. We have a brain so that we can consider our actions and its ramifications, not so that we can justify racism and hysteria. Sun Tzu
