>> One of the earliest examples of a bot: Person : Men are all alike. ELIZA : In what way? Person : They're always bugging us about something or other. ELIZA : Can you think of a specific example? Person : Well, my boyfriend made me come here. ELIZA : Your boyfriend made you come here? Person : He says I'm depressed much of the time. ELIZA : I am sorry to hear that you are depressed. Person : It's true. I am unhappy. ELIZA : Do you think coming here will help you not to be unhappy? Person : I need some help, that much seems certain. ELIZA : What would it mean to you if you got some help? Person : Perhaps I could learn to get along with my mother. ELIZA : Tell me more about your family

Ted, > LOL. Whose Eliza? One of the earliest examples of a bot: Let's see.......Obama speaks like an American. He dresses like an American. He walks like an American. He has all the cultural attibutes of an American. He is Christian.....the predominate religion in this country. He is married to an American. His mother was American. She lived in Hawaii when he was born. He has a Hawaiian birth certificate. There are birth announcements in both Honolulu papers. Why birthers claim he is not American: his father was Kenyan and his grandmother who is senile and misunderstood a question claimed he was born in Kenya. She was quickly corrected by other family members. And yet, there is a growing group of people....actually wingers.......in this country who believe he is not American. Why? In the meantime, since his election, we have heard repeatedly of Rs in prominent positions making racial slurs directed at the president......over and over again. We have had prominent people of color talking about their own experiences with racial profiling in this country....the latest being Colin Powell. Since Obama's election, Aryan and all white groups are on the rise in this country, plotting to assassinate the president. It is clear that this country still harbors a racist attitude to some degree. And yet, here you are with a smarmy, elitist attitude, defending your fellow Rs, and suggesting that I am off base in my speculation. Why?
