I've been out of town and came home to find this on my computer.
I just need to say that I do not find it amusing to make jokes about
economically deprived minorities being killed by our own government. You
forgot to include the mentally ill that they kill.
Also, I don't think words like "neo fascist SUV driving suburbanites" is
funny stuff.
I thought this group had more class than this. I'm down to the digest
version. I might be out of here soon if there are a lot of people that
think this type of stuff is amusing. I'd rather talk politics with people
that respect other people, races, and cultures.
I do support building a stadium in St. Paul. I do not support the death
penalty. I am not know as a racist. And I give what I can to help those
less fortunate. I do not look down on "suburbanites". And I do not support
using public funding for building the stadium.
I hope there are some progressive people left in the City of St. Paul.
