Bill>Wacko, just a couple of quick thoughts to keep you excited.

1. When there is enough graffiti on the wall the only thing to use is a broad brush. The LP is simply graffiti on American politics. So, yes I will continue to use both broad and narrow brushes to point out its weak positions. Finally, I have called on you in virtually every post to stick to the issue and you fail to over and over again.

2. What I have said to you (several times) is I have no objection to flames. I can take them with a smile. What I objected to was your use of vulgarity. I have not been vulgar, nor will I be. So don't try to put words in my mouth, it's a very unsanitary habit.

3. Now, regarding the issue. The psot that you put up was a simplistic political ploy by your beloved LP. So to identify it as such was not avoiding the subject. Now, idenetifying race on the census is completely irrelevant for government activities because the information is not made public regarding the individual for 90 years. Otherwise the data in the census is only used in agregate. This certainly is not aparthied. Then we have the situation where every employer is asked to have applicants annonomously identify their race. Just like the census these requests are optional. Therefore, to make a public call for resistance is nothing but political grandstanding.

Thank for the comments.
