That's why the appeal of the Harry Brown book TOTALLY lost me ... hearken to
a better life back then... How good life was before it all got interfered
with by those darn civl rights laws. Hogwash.
People are always going to whitewash the past. Remember how much better is
was ...? ... back in another time, a better, simpler America? That rhetoric
only works if I lived in middle class, non-ethnic, as white male America,
Mike. Things weren't so good for "others". Others have it better now, but
not much -- oh yes, and at a cost to the middle class non-ethnic, white male
America.
I know you have heard this before and discount it, but it's my POV.

That is a rational point of view. Cold hearted, a little stubbornly
impersonal, but rational. Actually I can add on to that. An accidental mother
who is not "unfit" can also observe the world as an "unfit" and not want to
raise a baby here. Is that anti-evolutionary?
