I am not at all sure what you mean by suggesting that "tomorrow it
could be blacks or the poor?"   There is no need to wait for tomorrow;
a newly oppressive climate is coming from both major parties --- the
children on "illegal" immigrants are to be EXPELLED from the public
schools, just like that!  The cities are being re-segregated and AA is
about to be chopped to death.

Truly, we have fallen on evil days --

  the absurd creationists, with the theological Luddites?

            Never a dull moment!!
