This all assumes that being discriminating is a bad thing. Regarding fundies, I've met a few. I even worked for one for about three months. They tend to be assholes by their very nature. You also don't need to like someone to be aligned on various issues. Liking has nothing to do with it, it's what is needed at the moment. Many of these right wing nutosphere extreme types are now claiming that Obama is not a citizen, or not really black enough to be black. It's pretty damn stupid and an attempt to de-legitimize what happened on Nov. 4th. --Larry _______________________________________________ OSX-Nutters mailing list | [email protected] http://lists.tit-wank.com/mailman/listinfo/osx-nutters List hosted at http://cat5.org/
