2. Ethnic prejudice only works from majority to minority, not in the reverse direction if we are to believe the current Recall speeches and actions.
It gets worse than this. Here in Baltimore, a group that comprises 65 percent of the total population is called a minority group. And speaking of philosophical things, I heard people on the radio seriously talking about bringing a class-action law suit against God for sending the hurricane that caused the power outages and the inconvenience of no lights or TV for 5 days. As God's representatives, and because God would not be expected to appear in person, the churches would pay the awards.
hmm how many ways is this logically wrong? Do the people suing believe in god, have they ever sinned, maybe god was justly punishing them, as their religion tells he can. Does the government believe in god? No. So how can it hold god responsible? If a Lawyer takes this before a judge, they need to be held in contempt and jailed before the case is thrown out as frivolous. Kevin
