So funny. I am a computer geek ... I own no guns (and don't want to). I would wear a "Re-Elect Bush" shirt ... but I don't have any. I'm just an opinionated political junkie with a scraggly beard and long hair.
My racism ... it's a little more subtle than that. I have caught myself jumping to conclusions about people based on what race I perceived they belonged to. Unfortunately it was late in my life that I learned more while I was in college. My "Race & Racism" class really made me feel bad about how I had approached issues in the past and treated some of the people I knew. But I was never a person who outright believed that some other race was inferior to mine. It was always less than that. But during my education I learned more about the fallacy of the concept of race. I learned to recognize how I had used negative stereotypes to pre-judge people. I believe I'm doing a reasonably good job at dealing with a life of believing in racial lines and subscribing to stereotypes. However ... even though now I realize that when I subscribed to those negative racial stereotypes I was looking down on people ... I didn't think so before. It was the realization that I was unfairly and unjustly putting myself above others simply because of their preceived race that really shocked me and made me want to change.
Having said that - it doesn't mean that I will not call someone out for the way they act, what they say, or what they do. Just because I think someone is acting or saying or doing something completely ignorant and they belong to a different "race" doesn't mean I can't say something about it. I'd expect that if I did something ignorant, anyone else - no matter what race, religion, creed, gender, or ethnicity they are - could call me on it!

It's all me. The big fat computer geek.
Fortunately being fat doesn't make one wrong!

Nothing good?
The US GDP grew by more than 5 percent over the last three quarters, the fastest rate of growth in nearly two decades.
Productivity grew at the fastest 3-year rate in more than 50 years.
Since last August, over 1.4 million new jobs have been created.
The unemployment rate has fallen from 6.3 to 5.6 percent, below the average of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.
Employment over the last year was up in 44 of the 50 states, and the unemployment rate was down in 46 of the 50 states.
Real after-tax incomes are up by 11 percent since December 2000. Homeownership rates are at record levels – nearly seven out of ten American families own their own home today.
Household wealth is at a record high.
Consumer confidence is up from the levels seen at this time last year.
Inflation remains low by historical standards, as do mortgage rates.
President Bush announced the Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, a five-year, $15 billion initiative to turn the tide in combating the global HIV/AIDS pandemic.
The President has consistently requested an increase in the Ryan White Care Act AIDS Drug Assistance Program funding each year since he took office, for an overall increase of 41 percent. There are more HIV-positive Americans accessing treatment, they are receiving better quality care, and there has been an increase in the number of programs funded to provide care.
Access to health care has been extended to 3 million additional Americans – part of the President’s five-year plan to fund 1,200 new or expanded sites to serve an additional 6.1 million people.
In the first quarter of 2004, the minority homeownership rate was a record 50.8 percent. Between the second quarter of 2002 and the first quarter of 2004, there was a net increase of 1.54 million minority homeowners.
I think these are good.
And there is always the fact that Saddam is now standing trial in Iraq insead of rulling it. (Or maybe you think things were really better for the Iraqi people under Saddam?)
