The Chinese had an incredible impact in North America as the labor force that built railways, mines and running restaurants and laundries. These practical people don't strap bombs to themselves and seldom do you see Chinese on social assistance. I hope Laz stops and thanks the next Chinese person he meets for all their contributions to our great society. I know he might make the argument the Chinese tend to be cliquey and don't assimilate well, which is true but only because they have been ostracized by the rest of us. "Witch Hunt" The night is black Without a moon The air is thick and still The vigilantes gather on The lonely torch lit hill Features distorted in the flickering light The faces are twisted and grotesque Silent and stern in the sweltering night The mob moves like demons possessed Quiet in conscience, calm in their right Confident their ways are best The righteous rise With burning eyes Of hatred and ill-will Madmen fed on fear and lies To beat and burn and kill They say there are strangers who threaten us In our immigrants and infidels They say there is strangeness too dangerous In our theaters and bookstore shelves That those who know what's best for us Must rise and save us from ourselves Quick to judge Quick to anger Slow to understand Ignorance and prejudice And fear walk hand in hand...
