I don't know why I'm still surprised at this kind of comment.  Yet let me
repeat my sentiments YET AGAIN....

a) Don't you realize that you are busily spreading the kind of prejudice
that you are condemning?  The blatant two-facedness of saying ' That racist
must be from California' is obvious.

b) Doesn't this embarrass you?

The people flaming Kevin are a bunch of wimps.  At this point the
main reason he gets flamed so much is that he's been flamed so much.
If you flame Kevin Darcy, you're safe--you automatically have a
busload of people on you side.  The ultra-wimps don't even come up
with their own flames half the time, and just quote someone who
previously flamed him.  Even Trish O'Tuama, the one who initially
formed the bandwagon against Kevin, has long since fallen out of the
driver's seat and is just riding along with the rest of the
Kebbin-flaming wimps.

Oh, and yes, you clearly are a newbie geek, otherwise you wouldn't
have used all 80 fucking columns.

This may be an error: my reading of the public traffic by Cassandra and
Dave is that a vote is/was not in progress. Name suggestions could be
submitted to Cassandra and (Dave said) she would let him know what she
decided for a final name.  I heard no call that the name would go
according to a "vote" (i.e. be that name which had a majority or
purality).

  Ever heard of infinitesimals?  These are numbers that are smaller than any
positive number, but are still bigger than zero.  They show up alot in math,
especially in game theory.

  In game theory, a game that has an infinitesimal value can be beaten by any
game with a positive value, no matter how small the value of that game. 
However, if added to a fair game it will swing the value.

  Well, the probability of Ted changing his mind may be infinitesimal, but as
long as the chance of convincing a creationist is zero he has the odds.

Sorry.  Apparently my site installed a 'fecal-matter article

article as fitting within its bounds.  Don't fret though - most
of talk.bizarre was bit-bucketted too, and all of alt.flame.

A tristich is a set of three metrical lines.

Damit!  Why did someone post something funny to alt.flame!!  If I wanted
to read something funny I would have read rec.funny! :D

Seriously, I can't believe how much noise this (original) post has
generated.  The original poster is unknown and got exactly what he/she
was hoping for, and unfortunately a "boost" from Hugo somebody, who
I seriously doubt is a doctor.

Case in point, if you went to medical school for 8 years would you write
something to the whole world saying that you are racist.  If Hugo was
a doctor and the press found out what he said, he would certainly be
shunned by all.

Second, his argument, "White people must be smarter, because there has never
been a black President", implies that since there has never been a
black Vice-President.... well you get picture. 

(Oh no now I'll get flamed for Quayle bashing. :D )

  We won't mention that they performed human sacrifices at the tops of
these pyramids, will we?  And at any rate, saying that "european ancestors"
were bashing each other over their heads ignores the magnificence of
such Western creations as the Acropolis, the Roman road system and 
aqueducts (still used today) and many other things.  In short, you're
falling prey to the thing someone else just accused whites of doing-
your propping yourself up by denigrating someone else. Stop it.

  This is all so sad.

  It confirms my suspicions that there isn't an American writing to this
