One of my favorite lines from Thomas Merton's "Seeds of Contemplation" is "once a proud man (sic) declares himself humble, his case is hopeless". That's where we are with the Klintoonians who honestly feel they are at the high end of the Bell Curve, and that the Bell Curve is a valid, permanent, irrevocable predictor of human value. The meme that blacks are, by and large, lazy, stupid, sexually promiscuous and criminally dangerous is rife in our "Christian" nation. Stated or unstated, it's there in the posts of the Klintoon Klan, and it's sad precisely not because they can't get it, but because they DON'T WANT TO GET IT. WFB, I admire your tenacity, but, like the adherents of that racist bible, The Bell Curve, our friends are beyond the reach of your life preserved. They're in over their heads, and there's not a blasted thing you can do.
