I liked the 'flames' too...bigotry is a real problem - no matter what guise it hides behind. Everytime I see some zealot write in with a silly complaint about how her/his state sanctioned monopoly (In God We Tru$t, etc...) is being abused, ignored, so on...I find myself wondering how this person would feel were s/he a member of a minority community. Of course, she could be a lesbian woman of colour - but then I'd find myself thinking: talk about denial, whoa! Maybe she just likes typing? Or looks for extra mail during the holidays? The comments were colourful to be sure but this unit (the original author) needs to fflush her headgear. Reboot sister, you got a dirty page stuck somewhere!
