I agree with your analysis Marc... but to couch it in terms of "a
study" and drop it out there in cyberspace (especially to this list)
without an intelligent dose of qualification like yours, is at least
irresponsible (if not inflammatory).

Once again Michael, would you provide a reference (even if it's
simply a website to the original news story) for your colleagues on

For the NASCAR demonstration (I wouldn't call it an experiment...),
here are a few references:

I actually heard about this well before seeing the email from
Michael... I tend to agree with the view that "news" stories like this
are attempts to create news rather than report it... but I don't
exactly view Dateline NBC as a "news" show, so I'm not going to get
too worked up over it...
As for Michael's last comment... I think every religion has displayed
intolerance for other religions/groups at one time or another... but
I'm sure you could find a few recent news stories about people in the
middle-east demonstrating intolerance... In fact, isn't it a crime to
convert away from Islam in some countries? A crime punishable by
death? That to me seems a bit intolerant... not saying any other group
is any better and I wouldn't put all Arabs/Moslems into the same
category either... just like I wouldn't put all people living in the
southern US together in the same category... So, I don't see Michael's
last statement as inflammatory but rather a statement concerning
recent news reports that I've seen coming out of the middle-east...
