- Actually, that COULD be taken as hate-related. Think about it: Bush's
- words and actions during his campaign caused LOTS of people to dislike
- the man severely. Students tend to be a headstrong lot, and if you get
- them drunk, they're liable to do anything, especially out of hate. It's
- no secret that many Christians don't like pagans, to say the least, and
- some will stop at nothing to express that dislike. I oughta know... my
- sister (a Christian) continued to threaten my ex-girlfriend (a Wiccan)
- no matter WHAT I said to convince her my ex was harmless. Until I told
- her to shut up because she didn't even KNOW my ex. *sigh* Blind
- prejudice.
