I'm not saying "consider them guilty until proven innocent." No, rather, just keep a vigilant eye on them instead of the white grandma. It's track records: you have to look at the statistics and play the numbers. Could a white old granny be a terrorist? Sure...but is it as likely as a 20/30-something middle eastern male? No, using the obvious statistics. Yes, Timothy McVeigh was a white American male who did our first (??) terrorist stuff here on US soil, and shamefully we all thought it was non-white terrorists from abroad who did it at first. We get it wrong sometimes, to be sure. But you can't go "politically correct" and consider old white granny as a suspect as much as the younger middle eastern male. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
