The kinds of crime the New Century people are talking about are generally motivated by greed, poverty, drug addiction, or some combination thereof. Hate crimes are motivated by fear and power...or perhaps fear of losing power. Being robbed at gunpoint may be frightening, but "it's only money," and you can always make more of that. The black man who was dragged to death in Texas because he was black can hardly get his life back. It doesn't surprise me that the Washington Times should publish this tripe; it fits their agenda very neatly. Bob ================================= Robert F.
