Yup and proud of it. I thought it was a cute way to describe my attitudes. I thought it was a fair way to let people know where I was coming from. We all have biases. Last night on Fox News, I saw David Duke say some outrageous things that are not supported by history, fact or reality, but with a dark business suit and a telegenic appearence, he may well be the next Republican US Representative from a parish in Louisiana. His kind of bigotry is REALLY scary. A former Klansman, when asked if he were ashamed or sorry about his past associations with the Klan, he said that he was sorry that his standing for the rights of his heritage (I'm fairly scared by whatever that phrase was supposed to mean - does he want the right to own slaves again?) was misinterpreted by the press. With or without his sheet his bigotry is scary. Being an Intel bigot or an AMD bigot on these pages is well within the bounds of acceptability, in my view. If you strongly object to the word bigot, I'll gladly switch to zealot.
