    You're right, but it's sooooo tempting to poke the racist rat in a cage of its own creation. This is not a courtroom; it's not church. It's not congressional testimony (where "I don't recall" is all you really need to say). It's a free for all, a linguistic fling where dung is flung. LIghten up. Now off to market, where geezers get ten percent off on Tuesdays (sale items not included, nor, lamentably, is liquor). Tra la, tra la. screw dixie.
