Mayor Rybak better be careful, otherwise his buddies, Doug Grow and Councilmember Don Samuels, might accuse him of being "theocratic".--------
Dennis Plante Responds:
Were you aware that Don Samuels is in fact an ordained minister? I would like to know what exactly, Don has said publicly that you find offensive, or contrary to (the best interests of) furthering racial equality?
How WILL a race of people EVER achieve racial equality in a society (and country) that by and large, makes a significant distinction between church and state BECAUSE of its racial diversity? How WILL that ethnic group ever be treated equally unless there is a willingness to work WITH the majority to resolve these problems peacefully and rationally?
Be careful of voices (of societal/political leadership) that profess to have a higher calling than reason and common sense. When listened to or elected, they end-up looking very much like our current president - GWB.
