 Followed by an well thought out essay on cultural diversity and it roots in 
 America with which I can not find a word to disagree.  Except the last 
 sentance viz.......
 
 >This is our legacy, and I strongly encourage the viewing audience to go see 
 "The Last of the Mohicans" to once again discover why Jack Schmidling is 
 wrong, dead wrong.
 
 Having just agreed with the content of your essay, that makes us both "dead 
 wrong", doesn't it?
 
 Clearly, you were looking for a segue into your position statement and like 
 the sound of my name but it and your essay have nothing to do with my 
 position.  
 
 I asked what evil David Duke has done and you use this as an excuse to imply 
 that I am a white supremacist.  I asked how you feel about Israel's ethnic 
 clensing and you give us a lecture on Injuns and Negroes.
 
 If you want to know my opinion, ask!  Don't invent it or repeat rubbish 
 others have put forth.
 
 My position is basically, that the bucket is full, we don't need any more 
 immigrants of any color.  We are having enough trouble dealing with the 
 present population.  It's time to take down that sign on the Statue of 
 Liberty or send it to Israel.  They seem to want more immigrants.
 
 Having said that, it is becoming painfully obvious, all over the world, that 
 different ethnic and religious groups, simiply WILL not get along.  The idea
 of not encouraging the mixing is not an evil idea.  It is simply an option 
 that can be debated like any other.
 
 As the world population continues to explode, the problems will get worse, 
 not better.  Until or unless the politicians of the world are willing to 
 address population growth, the world is doomed.  Separating the hating 
 factions would only be a bandaid at best.  What they need is more space and 
 that is best accomplished by fewer individuals not walls.
 
 Sure, I have pride in my race and can probably point to more achievements 
 than many others but that does not imply any kind of genetic superority, just 
 statistics and the way things fell together.  I have no doubt that any group 
 of humans out there can produce genius and talent as well as any other, given 
 the proper nurturing and opportunity.  I just don't happen to think that 
 Affirmitive action is the best way to provide that nurturing and opportunity. 
 We can not mandate genius and talent and we should only remove barriers not 
 create them for others.
 
 So, let's get back to the basic question....
 
 What evil did David Duke ever do?  And while we are at it, how bout the 
 ethnic clensing in Israel.
 
 For the record, I will not respond to any more red herrings until or unless 
 these questions are addressed.
