I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia, it is an opinion. I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America. Try to have things like the United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America and see what happens. Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door. When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the population is black, that is not racial profiling, it is the law of statistics. I believe that if you are selling me a milk shake, a pack of cigarettes, a newspaper, or a hotel room, you must do it in English. As a matter of fact, if you want to be an American citizen you should speak English. My father and grandfather shouldn't have to die in vain so you can leave the countries you were born in to come over and disrespect ours. I think the police should have every right to shoot your sorry ass if you threaten them after they tell you to stop. If you can't understand the word "freeze" or "stop" in English, see the above lines. I feel much safer letting a machine with no political affiliation recount votes when needed. I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you are qualified for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans or tax breaks etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop, trinket store, or any other business. I believe a self-righteous liberal or conservative with a cause is more dangerous than a Hell's Angel with an attitude. I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more. If it ticks you off, go and invent the next operating system that's better and put your name on the building. Ask your buddy that invented the Internet to help you. It doesn't take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid and smack his little ass when necessary and say "NO". I am sick of "Political Correctness" and of all the suck ups that go along with it. I know a lot of black people, and not a single one of them was born in Africa, so how can they be "African-Americans"? Besides, Africa is a continent. I don't go around saying I am a European-American because my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather was from Europe. I am proud to be from America and nowhere else. America !!!Luv it or leave it.

..One more thing that folks may find interesting about the Stock Basket account at E-Trade. Basically, you are creating your own mutual fund, or taking one of theirs, and customizing it. Only cost is 125 a year. No excess administrative costs like regular mutual funds. Additionally, you are basically payiong only $125 a year for unlimited trading. I can go in everyday, and add a stock, remove a stock, change the % of a stock and etc, etc, etc....unlimited, cost free trading..no commissions to add or remove stocks, change %'s and etc....Thinking about it, I may transfer all my trading accounts to e-trades stock baskets.....if I have 2000 shares of rfmd and 500 dell and 500 KKD and 1000 INTC and etc, etc.....I can set them up in one basket or 10 baskets and go in and trade daily if I like, without any cost, other then the initial $125 fee to set up the account. Hmmm...still interested to hear opinions on my earlier post. Too many stocks? Some dogs that need removed? Some gems I need to add. Pare down the baskets to a smaller amount of stocks? All opinions welcome and thanks again....
