Once again I didn't make a biggoted remark. You took it that way.

Actually I did not accuse you of being a bigot, and was very careful to
only imply your remark was bigoted to the same degree that you implied
Hispanics were less loyal Americans than you (and presumably I, but then
you turned on me as a "left winger" pretty quickly).


... As
far as serving......... Vietnam 66. Where were you?


I was in grammar school. OTOH I was off the coast of Libya, the Gulf of
Sidra to be exact, in 1981 and off the coast of Lebanon in 1982; and off
the coast of Nicaragua in 1986; and a couple of other fun vacation spots
in between.

Lately I've been hearing a lot of increased chatter from people who
should know better. World wide war on all Moslems, torture any suspected
terrorists, kick out all foreigners, put minorities back in their
places, put women back in their place, make kids cut their hair (and
stop dying it weird colors) and stop listening to awful music, etc etc.
There's a fine line in this kind of talk, some of it is harmless and
some of it is poisonous and hateful. I am not accusing you of being over
the line but I am much more comfortable declaring where I stand when it
becomes a question.

If that says "left-winger" to you, then great.

Now how about getting back to sailing?
