Yes...and the 'need' for private schools ... ... and church membership ... WASP-type religions, of course ... or catholic, with the handy 'parochial school' system that also isolates in a pseudo 'belief system' manner those who are DIFFERENT. In terms of skin color, geographical proximity to -- rather, 'within' the 'parish' ... In terms of income, or 'socioeconomics' ... i.e., the 'white rednecks' live in the 'south end,' or east side, or some such pseudonym depending on city / locale ... the 'other side of the tracks,' etc ... In terms of education: those with less are fearsome ... and those with more are fearsome. Those who are not white Caucasians carte blanche are not to be 'trusted' in any respect or under any circumstances. Especially those who are first-generation immigrants to the nation. Lip service is given -- via corporate globalization which I think, BTW, the Bush crowd will put an abrupt end to. ASAP -- 'American business needs the best and brightest from Asia, for example, in engineers and technical talented.' i.e., let THOSE people 'in' ... we need their brains. But we don't want to live next door and associate with them because they're scary...they could somehow 'take over' 'my country.' The conservative agenda. bia

That is it all of it, plain and simple. Ever notice most of em need to live in the sterile suburbs and have panic attacks whenever in the city especially after dark. I'm sure you would rather we all live in public housing provided by your perfect government. That we all punched in to our unionized job provided by and paid for by the Govt. That we all buy our food and necessities (at least those that the govt. deems appropriate) from govt, run stores? Your perfect little world is what stinks, and your twisted idea of reality is a farce. M
