I've been biting my tongue, hoping this thread would die, but come on Mike...this absolutely a political issue. The Nazis described the profiling of Jews as "reality". Americans described the profiling of Japanese Americans as "reality" during WWII. Some people might even describe the police profiling of black people as "reality". Whatever your opinion, there are many that see profiling of any race or religion as a dangerous step. I don't want to fuel this discussion because as Derek and Brandon said, this is not the right forum for that kind of post. Henry has apologized and I think that's where it should end.
And at the very least let's not forget the FLUFF notification in the subject line. Cheers Joe. -----Original Message----- From: Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, August 20, 2002 12:24 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Something to Think About Again I disagree. Maybe because I am more effected by it since I ride out of the country and across borders more than most, I find the climate for having to inspect motorcycles at borders, something that never happened before, to be a biker issue, and therefore his email to be interesting. We have had other fluff that was really useless and we allowed it. I see thins as a short lived but well intentioned email. I also think there was a more polite way to say to someone that you feel it was an inappropriate email.

I think it is reality. It has nothing to do with motorcycles. Or GTS's.
