See my response to Christy below. To make a blanket judgement about people is prejudice. Just like Christy I couldn't let it go, I couldn't either. Since I am not usually on the BB on the w/e I am surprised no one else reacted to it. By they way I am supposed to working a paper on "cultural diversity" and Tom's comment hit a little too close to home on "the dominant culture's negative interpretation on a non-dominant culture"
For quite a I have refrained from responding/entering BB frays, but allowing his "hypothesis" to go unchallenged was just not happening today.
Donna asked him specifically about how can the people of Katrina can move on with his experince as a SEAL. Hey I was all for that untill his hypothesis.
Again his experience on the human condition may need some new inputs.
As far as the baggie comment that's not even the topic of my response. It was used to illustrate the difference in my mind-set and character.
As far as the luv-fest comment,it has been used by other folk as well as myself to when they seque and have disagreed or dissappointed with something.
But I stand by my "arrogance gender /race entitlement and Dr Phill is is a yahoo" whom Tom himself has quoted".
