I just got done reading the past 3 days of the AP Yahoo groups discussions and I'll tell you what, it saddened me. Not only did the bigotry and racism that exists in so many here come to the front, but the whole idea of turning the tragedy that hit the Gulf Coast into a political football is sickening.
Pretty soon I suspect some idiot is going to blame The Fish for the street thugs of Asbury Park. And then I get accused of being a Ku Kluxer. That my house was once a meeting place for the Klan as recently as the 60's is about as close as I have ever come to the KKK. To deny that the lost generations if welfare bred couch potatoes, cell phone on one hand, game boy in the other, watching big screen TV's while waiting for their welfare check is akin to the small minds, or lack thereof, that produced a demonic group like the KKK. I took the liberty of removing the disgraceful flag from the Fast Lane this week. I work with a group of Mexicans and when the flag was brought up here a while back, I mentioned it to them while we drove by the Fast Lane on our way to the job. One of the Mexicans who speaks a little English seemed to be saying that it, the tattered flag, was still there and he said t was no good. It was this Mexican who insisted on getting the ladder, and this Mexican who climbed the ladder and removed the flag. Yeah, I'm a real Ku Kluxer. A Klansman with a posse of Mexicans helping to rebuild Asbury Park so nice people can move in and the trash can be thrown out.
