Well they say that those who point their fingers at hate are pointing three fingers back at themselves. I don't really think it is ironic actually. Most "anti-racists" are actually quite racist, they just are racist in a different way. If you aren't a simple minded conservative who actually believes what these people say, there is no irony or contradiction. They are exactly how they act. --- MultiMail/Linux v0.52 þ Synchronet þ MS & RD BBs - bbs.mozysswamp.org .
