I am a democrat. My views from experience.
My little rants I usually keep inside.
A cashier newly hired responded to me in spanish. Then asked in english if I spoke spanish. I simply said no. He asked "why" I said "because I don't have to" and continued on my business. ( He was being a jerk)
Two middle eastern guys looking at the monday paper. The towers all ablaze. I made eye contact and said hello. Something other than hostility was there. Some kind of wanting to reach for a middle ground. To make amends. I didn't know if I wanted to appologize for that photo. Conflicting emotions. I didn't want anyone gloating for that act nor did I want to be a part of photo sensationalizm.
Driving in for gasoline. A stationed owned by Middle eastern indians. They have a photo of thier son hanging. He is a marine. They tell me thank you so much for comming in in such a way that spoke volumes. I said it was my pleasure. I walked out wondering how much hate comes their way because of the ignorance of people. Their hurt running double because they have a son serving now.
I don't like my credit card information outsourced to another country though.
