Un-Happy Holidays

[mackrackit]

Once again -- sorry.

Trent,

I do not think you should be. How would you have known that sharing a little about you and your Grandmother would have went the direction it did?

Maybe people do not want to think about the things that came up, now or any other time of the year. Does that mean that we should not think about it, or by not thinking about it some how it did not happen or will not happen again.

The profiling issue does seem to be a problem on the rise once again. Basically I think it is human nature.

What better way to make sure that it does not get out of hand again than to have discussions about it. Now or any other time of the year. Luciano brought up a good point. Reminding all about the problems of profiling.

What better time of year than now, what ever your beliefs, when most people are wishing one another good will, to talk about some thing like this? Hiding your head in the sand never solved anything.

Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays, what ever the case may be.

The profiling issue does seem to be a problem on the rise once again. Basically I think it is human nature.

Judging / sizing up a person is human nature, but God help us if profiling ever becomes one.

When you get your profile done, the people doing it seek to learn everything about you which ranges from knowing your bank account pin number right through to what time of day you usually take a shower or use the toilet. In the process, you'll get the crap beaten out of you, to see if you become violent when provoked (they'll drug you up on truth syrup during this) Then they'll throw you in front of a TV that they have full control over the content with, monitor your reactions to what you see and hear before trying to really push you over the edge by extinguishing a cigarette on you (once again, a test to see if this person can be made to be violent)

As Luciano pointed out -- Nazi racial science is a justifiable comparison.
