Re: Libraries and Bonds

2000-11-06 Thread Mark Wilde

i appreciate mr. rudnick's work in tracking down all
these resources. it is this type of informative post
that makes me glad to be a member of this list.

i am in support of the library referendum because i
use the downtown library a lot, as well as southeast
and northeast branches.

IMHO
(In My Humble Opinion)

immigrants. the coming backlash?

2000-11-13 Thread Mark Wilde

speaking of archie bunker, i was in grumpy's bar over
northeast yesterday and the guy at the table next to
me was making some comments about immigrants that
reminded me of archie.

"somalians are lazy", "mexicans are dirty", "why are
we letting them in?", etc, etc.  

i thought we were done with this stuff.  it was the
same old stereotypes used for every generation of new
immigrants.  probably even this guy's grandma and
grandpa.

my question is:  are people seeing and hearing
examples of this also. i haven't up to this point, and
thought we were living in an enlightened age, but
maybe the backlash is coming.
