Come on, Anne, get real. You seem to have an urge to pick at anything Lyle
has posted recently, and to insinuate that he is somehow a racist. To make
sure, I just reread everything he's written in the last week plus your
replies, and it's clear you have completely misread Lyle's postings.
Your logic --or lack thereof-- shows up when you suggest comparing apples
to apples and then use the KKK and Farrenkat's preaching as examples. You
can't just chose part of the equation, and unless you also consider time,
location, etc. your comparison would still be a mixed bag of fruit. I
suppose now you'll charge me with being a racist, too, but you'd better
think twice and ask for pictures before you do, unless, like Lyle, you
believe racism can be found anywhere.
At the risk of being a real bore, may I suggest you back off and give others
a chance to have opinions, and if you think you disagree and should comment,
read what they had to say a second time, CAREFULLY.
