Now that you mention it. I really do think people should look more like me :-) Then we would have no racial profiling because we would all look the same.
Seriously though, remember the guy from San Antonio that was incarcerated just days after the attack? He was patient, understanding, and knew that he would be vindicated soon enough. And that's exactly what happened. Of course, that wasn't big news because he wasn't crying foul and playing the discrimination card, although it was his right to do so if he wanted to. The point I'm trying to make is that we are living in a different world now and it's going to take some patience and understanding to get through this until some better "standards" come along. In the mean time, people need to understand that not everything is going to be fair. I really do wish that Americans, and the rest of the world for that matter, could go about their business without anybody batting an eye or second guessing. But that's not realistic. I'm sure that the pilot is not a racist. But under the circumstances, he did what he thought was right at the time. I can't blame him for that.

And if America had deported everyone who's skin was a darker shade of pale then that Federal building in Oklahoma would still be standing. And we wouldn't have all those Anthrax letters being sent around. It isn't racism after all..it is just...protecting homeland security. And if the "current climate we live in" suddenly dictates that people that look like Mark Stewart be incarcerated in a jail somewhere secretly and without a trial then we should all be understanding....It's Justified. After all,we're saving the children. *smirk* -Gel -----Original Message----- From: Jon Hall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] If we are going to start kicking every Arab looking person off of airlines, then let's stand up and say it not hide behind the new "profiling" buzzword. I mean, why should we even let one of those people on board? It doesn't matter who he works for, it's the color of his skin, right? I'd bet if we ban all Arab's from flying, the we won't have any more hijackings at all. jon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Stewart" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > The pilot was clearly justified in what he did, period.
