Current administration priorities:

1. Preventing Nuclear holocaust or smallpox outbreak

2. Identifying and neutralizing terrorist cells

3. Encouraging growth in the economy

Not wag the dog - priorities in the post 9-11 world. Life over luxury.

As for churning out kids for cash being a "curmudgeonly bigoted rightist stereotype" then saying "in 1850 a number of blacks in the US were contented, loyal slaves." is also bigoted.

But the bottomline is both statements are true and are not bigoted. Many black, crack-using welfare moms did have more kids because it gave them more income to buy drugs. Its documented. During the welfare reform debate the media shined a rare spotlight on the "abusers" of the system.

Facts are not racist. They are "interpreted" as racist by someone with preconceived notions and beliefs.

I didn't say "all blacks on welfare churned out kids for cash." A few did. A majority did not.

The facts point to rising black incomes. What the source of this is may be harder to pinpoint - but the increase seems to correlate to the timeline new limits were put on welfare.

Is it racist to point to the potential success of cutting back a program which indeed did imprison many of its recipients?

Heck, I would think by now I have posted enough to reveal that I hold almost everyone on an equal playing field. I see all as learning souls. I point a finger and spotlight ignorance where I see it - but I do not condemn the ignorant any more than I condemn the toddler for falling as it walks.

There are equally ignorant republican actions - and I point them out. I am not some "dittohead" or blind party faithful and have watched Rush Limbaugh when he had a TV show three times. I have never heard any of his radio shows. zip.

Many republicans would be aghast at my stance on Christianity and I certainly do not consider myself part of the moral majority - for my morals transcend religious tenets and are metered by positive/negative action in a relativistic framework of the universe.

I believe I have been white, black, middle-eastern, oriental, man, woman, christian, hindu, buddhist, taoist, muslim, clergy, warrior, etc. etc.

All have helped to contribute to the perspective I hold today. I hold the tenet that those whom I emotionally point the finger at with hatred will be bound to me tighter than ever. I know the scientific principles for why this occurs.

I can't be racist - for I am the sum of all these things - a byproduct of infinite intelligence.

There exists no race superior to another - or even individual people. Because must be evaluated upon an infinite, learning matrix where good/evil are simply tools to accumulate more intelligence and understanding. I know I am no better or worse than anyone - and vice-versa. Each is learning and has the capacity for infinite growth. Each horrible act committed - has the potential to be turned into a greater good.

No, I am not racist or bigoted - for such would be like hating my own hand or shoulder. I am not an "evil monster rightie". I know about the regeneration of all small and large acts and deeds and try to live my life in a manner which does not produce lots of negative feedback. I try and make my decisions on the most intelligent course of action I can yet comprehend - yet also realize over time ALL my past actions will and should appear now unintelligent and flawed to a broadened perspective.

As Popeye would say,

"I am what I am!"
