12. As a white person, I'm glad it's coming to a boil also. Some
white people ALWAYS take it just a little too far and totally embarrass the rest of us and that is a good thing. I still hang on to the belief that most people, deep inside, are good and when they see something happen like what happened to someone like Ms. Sherrod, they say to themselves "ok, that's enough" and we start banding together again. I just wish this Administration and Congress would take the bull by the horns and bring back a revised form (because of the internet) of the Fairness Doctrine. In the old days people on radio and TV couldn't say just anything they wanted (read blatant lies) unless they could back it up with facts. Now there's no difference between news and entertainment - both deal in fictional stories, and that's just wrong. People like Rush, Hannity & Beck aren't going to be happy until someone kills someone else because they suggested that person should be killed. That makes our country a dangerous place to live in and it's just wrong.
