What we're addressing is whether it went down that way or not. And, you know, how little it can take to reinforce prejudices (and I'm not talking racism here, I'm talking lies and false impressions of a man and his wife).
Quote: | As for the McCain thing, I'm noting how little the posts on this thread seem bothered by somebody being attacked for their age. Ageism is a form of bigotry you know. | Well, which is it? We should be bothered by attacks based on prejudice or we shouldn't be? __________________  Sunny
