intelligence, your allegations are unfounded. "Ignorant?" Okay. "Stupid?"
Whatever. Call names if you like, if it makes you feel better. What irritates
me, is that you are assuming/insinuating that Christian, fundamentalist,
Americans are afforded more life chances than are others. Hogwash!! I will have
you know that I grew up in extreme poverty for the better part of 18 years while
living at home. My parents didn't put me through college and I received the
identical state-sponsored education (and no more) available to every
American. I don't know what race you are (either a minority or a self-loathing,
guilt-ridden White apologist), but my statement is as pure as the air you
breath... Perhaps a bad metaphor, you might be an environmentalist
whacko..</o:p></SPAN></FONT></DIV>
