* Ya know, ... my thoughts are this.  Back when I was young, it was all so defined.  Yes-no, right-wrong, black-white.  But it seems to me that over the years that's simply way too constraining.  Truth be told, it's a matter of percentages.  Me?  I'm 99% white.  99% male.  and likely 99.999% asshole.  My views of Obama have absolutely nothing to do with the percentage of skin tone.  I'll take Allen West or Ben Carson over Pelosi, Biden, Clinton, or Wolf any day of the week.  I think racial tensions have declined drastically over the last 6 years.  Police shooting?  Obama?  Wright? ... doesn't matter, it's as bad now as it was when I was growing up in the 50s.  If you say "you" in any form, be it right wing or left wing .. it's profiling, and that's disgusting to me.   I love my country, but in a lot of ways "America" is so juvenile in its understanding of humanity.  Having "big balls" doesn't make a point of view right. —    ?
