[Vision2020] Racist Doonsbury (was words and actions (Testosterone Reality Check))

[Sunil Ramalingam]

Glenns,

How, exactly, is it either? I looked at it and I don't see what you're talking about.  

What am I missing?  Can you explain?  Type slowly and use stick-figures if necessary.

Personally I found today's Doonsbury to be more offensive than usual:  racist and misogynistic.  How about handing that out on a flier as well and see what the general populous thinks.

What is wrong with you people?



I have never been in a fight in my life. There have been times where

people have punched me in the face but I just turned and walked away.

Sure I loose my temper with words but if you can't distinguish between

that and someone who is prone to violence, you are the one who needs

the reality check.



Nothing is going to happen, likely Crabtree will not even show up. If

he does I can promise you it will not "come to blows." We are grown

men. To think otherwise is just to buy into Crabtree's hype.



Come see for yourself on Tuesday.
