		<description>#50--helzerman==you say:  &quot;G. I’m not racist, sexist, male, or a democrat (not that being a democrat or male would be as bad at the first two items on the list lol).&quot;

Even if what you say is absolutely the truth, you would be better served to act as if you possibly might be a little bit of each of those things.

Its how to best guard against them.</description>

		<description>#52 &quot;Could be it was in another post or I’m loosing my mind (either is plausible),&quot;

Sometimes when a Dem realize what kind of party they belong to they go into denial and start seeing things that aren&#039;t there.

		<description>#48 Mad -this blog isn&#039;t here to &quot;express John&#039;s views.&quot;  It if were, he would be the only one writing it.  That&#039;s also why we all post under our own names so you can see who is posting what.  Now you know not to like my stuff, but you can still like Dvorak&#039;s.  Simple.  :-)

On to other points...

A.  I&#039;m not a man.  This is me:  http://tinyurl.com/3rjgsc

B.  I&#039;m not a Democrat,

C.  But I am voting for Obama (if for no other reason, I don&#039;t want Palin to get her hands on the nuclear codes and attack Putin since she can &quot;see Russia from her house&quot;)

D.  I (of course) do not object to women in office. 

E.  The video is about American Idol style politics and how easily voters are swayed by looks and spin.  In case you have not been watching the news lately, the block of voters McCain won over initially with the introduction of Palin, were white women -thus my sarcastic video.  It was not racist any more than the media pointing out the demographic was.  My video was just more sarcastic.

F.  Was my video tasteless/rude/good/bad/funny?  Matter of opinion.  I&#039;m not a comedian, so the merit of the video is fairly up for debate, but

G. I&#039;m not racist, sexist, male, or a democrat (not that being a democrat or male would be as bad at the first two items on the list lol).

Thanks for getting all riled up, though.  The comments were fun to read.</description>

		<description>#48, mad,

&lt;i&gt;ya know, im all for freedom of speech, expression, etc. but this kind of stuff need not be posted by MODERATORS of this board.&lt;/i&gt;

That is pure hypocrisy. Freedom of speech not allows Dvorak to have this blog, but also allows him the option of allowing his editors to post whatever topics they chose. Freedom of speech also allows you to NOT be forced to listen / read the post itself or any of the comments.

Helzerman posted something people thought enough of to generate at least 48 comments. Although most of these comments are negative, they are also relevant and fully deserving. And some people did enjoy this post.

Remember, freedom of speech doesn&#039;t only apply to what we want to hear / read. It applies especially to that which we disagree with.</description>

&lt;i&gt;But its Eminem! And yes, many that know music say he is genius. &lt;/i&gt;

Suggesting rap is music or Eminem is a genius is on par with expecting Cow-Paddy or Lyin&#039; Mike to come with an intelligent thought. It just ain&#039;t going to happen.</description>

I agree.  I think the reason it is a major problem is that your typical native can&#039;t envision a group as large as a country.  Tribalism keeps them at each others throats withing the &quot;country&quot;.  The dictators play one tribe against the other and the people can never unite to throw the bums out.

At this point the only thing to do is stip the continent of all tech above the stone age and seal off the place from the outside world.

Let them evolve naturally without outside interference.  Eventually (thousands of years) they will be ready to join advanced civilization.</description>

I have no doubt that Africa will always remain mostly a poor tribal civilization. 

One major problem hard to overcome is that they possess an abundance of corrupt dictators bent on making sure the status quo remains the same no matter how much aid the outside world coughs up.</description>

&gt;&gt;According to the anthropologists we are

So, you&#039;re saying you&#039;ve got one in the woodpile?

Yikes!  That&#039;s not going to go over very well with the guys in your Klavern, I&#039;ll bet.</description>
