     Now I would definitly debate whether "rich" people are a minority
(I sure hope liberals aren't) but there sure seem to be a lot of persecution
going on over the last couple of months!  And talk about propagating racist
steriotypes, we're here arguing over ethnic jokes while the Bush camp
engaged in some real SERIOUS racist tactics in the campaign.  Are we going to
have four more years of the Reagan style minority bashing?  Seems like our time
could be spend better by fighting some REAL racist attitudes on the part
of the people running this country instead of worrying over perceived racism
in ethinic jokes where none was present.

An optimist believes we live in the best of all possible worlds.
A pessimist is sure of it!
