I didn't print the entire email, but another thing I found interesting was that it also stressed that his mother was an...ATHEIST! The only slur worse than calling someone a Muslim in Jeebus-happy America.<BR/><BR/>Lulu, really. It must be pretty interesting watching our primaries as an American in a foreign land. I remember how strange it was watching the Iraq war break out while we were in a hostel in Cork, Ireland.<BR/><BR/>Erik, yes indeed. <BR/><BR/>Dr MVM, it's wacky isn't it? And you show people proof that Obama isn't a Muslim, and you watch people nod but as you look at them you KNOW they still think he's a Muslim. Sheesh. Thanks.<BR/><BR/>D-Cup, thanks. The email forwarding has gotten to be a little bit of an obsession with me. I find it especially fascinating among law enforcement--people who describe themselves as cynical, seen-it-all skeptics, suspicious of everyone and everything. And then they'll just fall for some bullshit that they get in an email from someone. Provided, I guess, that it reinforces or supports an existing belief or assumption.<BR/><BR/>Kirby, you're absolutely right.<BR/><BR/>Grant, you don't get porn and funnies every day? I can fix that for you.<BR/><BR/>Skylersdad, thanks. I try. It can't all be booze, dame and pork products.<BR/><BR/>Mn, I've seen various futurists talk about the shape that the US could take that's just what you describe.<BR/><BR/>Barbara, are the forwarded political emails a big deal in Canada? I get lots of conservative emails because of some of the lists I'm on, and I wonder if you get those too. Or does our uniquely American-style paranoia and anger stop at the northern border?<BR/><BR/>Johnny, it reminds me of What's the Matter With Kansas.
