Please provide quotes so that I can address the specific nature of your inquiry.<BR/><BR/>What is your point of view? You obviously have not read all that I have written. I suggest that you have a singularly myopic view colored by your review of only a few comments and by your predisposition and politics.<BR/><BR/>But, I understand that there are other viewpoints and cogent arguments in all fields of study. I accept the nature of inquiry.<BR/><BR/>So, rather than stoop to your level and deliver calumny, I'll simply ask: why don't you display your intellect and provide some reasonable commentary. On either side of the debate. I don't care which side.<BR/><BR/>Please.

The newspaper has been trying to live that down and in doing so, overcompensates to the point of making black criminals look like saints.<BR/>You seem to be a good southern boy who came from white racist stock. Some of your long and windy comments portray someone trying too hard. You sometimes get close to apologizing for the Duke88, like on another one of KC's pages. Don't recall which one.<BR/>Don't want a quarrel with you since we have witnessed your profanity and infantile nature, (those "F" words and the "C" word about a woman who posts here, that KC erased), when told to look at another pov, but many of us do not share your background and don't have KKK knowledge, except reading from books. Why use those things as a basis of argument?<BR/>I guess this is just to say that I get so tired of your writing. Do you kiss every man's ass the way you do KC's?
