Yeah, I'm waiting to see what happens this summer. Temperatures will rise. Tensions will rise. The campaign season will kick into high gear. And I suspect we'll have more "one bad apple" incidents of violence by guys who look a lot like the folks we see at Tea Party rallies who will, in their 'this is why I went crazy' letter/blog/video spout much the same rhetoric.

We still haven't had our Reichstag fire yet. But I'll bet anyone here a steak dinner that if/when it *does* happen, the perpetrator will either be a Muslim or a queer person.

Cheers

The People tended to be small-minded and conservative and not very clever and were even distrustful of cleverness. And so, the children of the revolution were faced with the age-old problem: it wasn’t that you had the wrong kind of government, which was obvious, but that you had the wrong kind of people. As soon as you saw people as things to be measured, they didn’t measure up." (Terry Pratchett)
