Ok everyone hum the airwolf theme! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jerry Johnson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2003 5:12 PM Subject: Re: Empire-Building In my apt. building, we have almost daily "discussions" between Indian and Pakistani-born tenants. They seldom argue about recent events. Normally it is stuff from 100+ years ago that really gets the blood going. The "Oh yeah? Well you..." Of course they, too would agree with you about the British. At the same time, down in CT where I am originally from, there are sometimes mean things said about one American Indian tribe working with the British against another. Which happened in the 1600s. And they still get red-faced mad about it. Of course their tribe, ancestry and way of life were completely destroyed, but hey, lighten up already. The only hatred I have that comes close is the network execs who took Aerowolf off the air. Canceling that show was a crime against humanity.

Four generations later, my problem with your proposal is that the British still have soldiers in Ireland. It isn't that they used to, it's that they still do :) But this does not mean I hate the British -- I just think the shouldn't be in Ireland :) This position is quite possibly not typical however :) Dana I just do not understand > how collective memory that is used to perpetrate hatred is beneficial in the > long run. > > Andy > > -----Original Message----- > From: Jerry Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2003 12:15 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: RE: Empire-Building > > > Andy, > > Are you saying the people who are coming and blowing up Jews (really > Israelis) are doing it for good reason? > > Or that Israelis have a good reason to distrust those coming to blow them > up? > > Jerry Johnson > > >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/26/03 12:14PM >>> > For good reason.
