Ted, <Unfortunately, by cleverly manipulating the press, McCarthy ruined many a career.> Including his own. He passed away in infamy and left behind a negative legacy that bears his name: McCarthyism. Right now, I'm not sure which is the worse fear: the fear of terrorism or the fear of McCarthyism. Obviously yours is the latter. Tenchusatsu

Ted, There is no evidence that that's true. The people he mostly went after were Hollywood types and many of the accusations proved to be inaccurate. The accusations that proved to be inaccurate were the undoing of McCarthy, but what made him into the force that he became was the accurate uncovering of communists working for the enemy from within this country. This is so illogical.........if there is a crime committed, it is very unlikely Brit. nannies would even be considered with or without profiling. The problem with formal profiling is that its usually redundant........ typically, humans on their own already are performing informal profiling; profiling, btw, that usually is subject to a lot of error. By discouraging profiling, investigators are forced to consider more variables and not rely on informal profiling. I have no idea what you are saying, and what you mean by formal or informal profiling. There is no such thing as untouchable classes.........that's conservative propaganda. I think you are trying to remain in denial. I understand that. Joe
