Well, yes, I knew about that (civil rights), but I've said it before, where I live we don't see that kind of racism. I've talked to professionals who work both inland in LA and here on the south coast and they all say, every single one, that they would rather work on the coast because, "the people are so laid back, calm, and nice." Not my words, but I am paraphrasing. We just don't see this type of stuff, so I tend to forget it really exists. Are you right about the tea party? If racism is as rampant as you claim it to be, then I suppose it's a possibility, but because I have not seen it, I cannot independently verify it's (racism) strong support outside of areas in the deep-south and certain parts of Arizona.

And I'm a tool? LOL, yea ok buddy.

Okay, I was obliviously being snarky there. I was using it in the context of someone who is so focused on only one agenda, that they can't see anything else. The irony, of course, is that by my own context, I'd also fit that shoe, as would anyone with a strong opinion, so to that end, I apologetically retract that statement used toward you.
