Its just not proof that one is not racist.
Of course not -- you can not prove a negative. I do not have to prove that I am not anti-Semitic; thanks to that wonderful principle of "innocent until proven guilty" it is up to the people who make those accusations to provide the proof -- which so far they have failed to do. (Not that it stops them from continuing their accusations, though.) >As far as proving things to you go...no hard feelings, but I can't even >prove to your satisfaction that you've read posts that you've quoted. Well, if I quote them I must have read them -- how else would I know which parts to quote? :-) Jeroen _________________________________________________________________________ Wonderful World of Brin-L Website: http://www.Brin-L.com Tom's Photo Gallery: http://tom.vanbaardwijk.com
