Why should issues that are thought provoking be hushed? As long as all can be civil. Geez, can you imagine what has gone on in our human culture in the last 25 years. The is a growing population of people who are of mixed race and don't know which box to X when the question is asked. How would you like to be faced with the same decision and what would you do? Accept the race of your father or accept the race of your mother? It is a question of society, not politics. Because of it, it finds its way into politics.

I used to think like you Dan, but unfortunately I read quite a bit about the history of race relations in our country and the reason Barack Obama is considered black is because he has black blood in him. I wish it were different, but that's the way our society continues to see people of color. My niece and nephew are considered to be Filipino, despite the fact that they are only one fourth Filipino. It just doesn't seem to be fair does it? Quadius PS I'm sorry I stirred the pot. Next time I will keep my mouth shut.

And when someone says they can't vote for a black man, it is racist. I've met John Mccain and I like him. The election in November is a referendum on the past 8 years. Are you better off with republican leadership in the white house? Another problem I have is John Mccain isn't looking well. I do not want his vice president running mate as president, "FER SHURRRR". john These are just my thoughts. Please do vote. I'm use to our process of hirering a cheerleader. ----- Original Message ---- From: Danny Hearn <[EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:quad-list@eskimo.com) ; John S. <[EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) > Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2008 3:00:07 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Back Online I'M SO SICK OF ALL THE RACE CARD CRAP----------OBAMA IS NOT ONLY BLACK AS EVERYONE AND MEDIA SEEMS TO THINK---------HE HAS A WHITE MOTHER AND BLACK DAD---------HE IS AS MUCH A WHITE MAN AS A BLACK MAN=50/50 YET I HEAR ALL DAY ON THE NEWS ABOUT HOW---IF YOU DON'T VOTE FOR HIM YOUR A SO CALLED RACIST. dan --- On Tue, 10/14/08, John S. <[EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) > wrote: From: John S. <[EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) > Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Back Online To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:quad-list@eskimo.com) Date: Tuesday, October 14, 2008, 1:07 PM Just thought I'd stir a little and see what came slithering out. john ----- Original Message ---- From: Eric W Rudd <[EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:quad-list@eskimo.com) Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:quad-list@eskimo.com) Sent: Monday, October 13, 2008 10:57:08 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Back Online i guess it's not who u blow, but who u know huh?

A lot of people don't see why it is important. I live in a county where there is 11 different hospitals and yet, I can only go to one. Three of the hospitals no longer have ER's so don't think you can get your uninsured child in them. Since I stopped working, and I'm no longer able to pay $545 a month for health insurance, it has become apparent that I'm not welcome at medical facilities. In attempting to cut ten percent from doctors pay on medicare itr is obvious that people without health insurance are being denied quality health care. So, elect Mccain and sign your DNR like a real robopublican and keep not asking questions. If your just voting for someone not black, well, your hopeless anyway. john It isn't like our votes actually count anyway. If your rich, go ahead and vote for your money. ----- Original Message ---- From: Quadius <[EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) > To: Eric W Rudd <[EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:quad-list@eskimo.com) Sent: Monday, October 13, 2008 9:34:06 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Back Online I'm not going to take the bait.
