MM,
I fail to see the correlation between
a well funded, well organized and frankly, successful group of militant religious zealots
and the American civil rights movement.
We were once smart enough to distinguish our enemies and actually name them.
And I am not saying that the entire religion is the problem,
simply the 12million or so radicalized persons.
so until the 1 billion “non-radicalized” start
getting rid of the ones fighting
Hindus
Bhuddists
Christians
Jews
and
Muslims
I will continue to see an insensitivity on their part for raising mosques over sites of dispicable attacks.
Speaking of census people….A neighbor’s kid (who is 25!) just got a job working for the census bureau. He finished Poli Sci degree and can’t get a job so he figured this would look good on his resume. He said it’s the easiest job ever. He gets paid $18.75 and said his quota is something like 2 houses a WEEK!!! He pretty much spends most of the day walking around the neighborhood and hanging out on park benches.
Montrose, I’m going to have to repectfully disagree. yes, I fully believe in the “slippery slope” arguement…profiling hippies for busting them for marijuana, inner city blacks for gun carrying, Mexicans for illegal status are all relatively “minor” issues in the grand scheme of things.
It all changed with 9/11 and a terrorit act, as we’ve seen here, UK, Spain, Jakarta, etc ramps things up to a much higher order of a threat to society and far more lives are at stake.
The have declared war on the US, albeit shrouded in the “religious war bullshit. They are enemy combatants. When someone flies an airplane into a building or plants a bomb in Times Square or a subway somewhere in the world in the name of their religion, it’s up to the members of that religion to weed out the problem.
I’m not discussing the location of a mosque in NYC, that’s trivial.
In other news:
Apparently Banksy is loose in NYC – Keep an eye open for ‘streetart’ on teh way home!

I think we can also state that Bxgrl is the Ruth Bader Ginsberg of the OT.
I see Etson as John Roberts too.

The game has changed.
Support in S&P was tested and held. Tomorrow could be a relief rally.
“I live on Atlantic and no one’s ever recruited me for anything. ‘cept maybe cocktails.”
Yep, and didn’t that lead to someone being bombed?
a ‘lid switch’ failed.
Robert Plant married an Indian woman I think.
Broke Tori Amos’s heart.
