Hey, I am confusing to just about everyone, it is a special gift! :)

Yes, that is how I feel.

DWB- Driving While Building? Very dangerous! :) (J/K)
Seriously, I don't think it is right to target anyone, at anytime, for
anything, simply because of skin color. I know some police do, but I don't
think it is a huge problem. I saw Johnny Cochrane's (shrudder) show on it for a
few minutes, and he pulled the race card on the subject so much I almost threw
up. If people are obeying the traffic laws, and not doing anything wrong, the
police should move on to more important matters, like actual crime, not the race
of a particular driver.

I can't vouch all police officers, there are good ones and bad ones, like in all
activities in life. If they do, it is wrong, and it should be stopped.

Yes, as do I. Government intervention in private affairs, like Boy Scouts (Can
you tell me why any girl would want to be in Boy Scouts? It is like me joining
the NOW gang!) is dead wrong. If it is private, it should remain so. See Larry?
We are mostly on the same note!
