Well, around D.C. we see such articles on the front page of the _Post_, and
as the lead story on the evening news, so I guess I just naturally assumed
that everyone else was seeing them, too.  The article I quoted appeared in
an obscure section of the newspaper, and I suspected that few would see it
there.  I would like to believe that most people have enough moral sense to
see that firebombing anything is but a reprehensible act; the point of the
posting (besides creating business for net.religion :-)) was to point out
the ubiquity of intolerance.
