i was just being a wise ass. sharpton amuses me and i wish he would have gone further in the race. ( no pun intended) i loved when he asked dean how many minorities he had brought on board.

jackson... i don't know. personally i think he is on one non-stop publicity stunt/shakedown. it is america, so i guess it is his right, but i don't place much value in the things that fall out of his mouth. it is only one incident, but i really love the time that jackson set his crosshairs on NASCAR (no, i'm not a race fan). he cried discrimination because there was only one black driver/team on the circuit, but there were lots of black fans. he started to organize boycotts and a small protest. well NASCAR just wrote his group a check and said "we'll do better." he went away and has not spoken of them since he got his check.

All things like that are subject to revision, both by better science as well as political agendas.

Personally, I just don't like canadians. ...with their funny flapping heads and their little beady eyes...

I went to one such school in Zimbabwe. An old traditionalist private school that produced men of such character that would seem boasting if I got started. What a great pity is all I can say; the education in these schools was some of the last of it's kind - they saught to make the complete man. Something a dictator can do without.
