Captain Jack....
Hard to argue with you on all that - it is amazing, but oft times we are our own worst enemy. I don't see things getting any better though, and we will continue to look at 9 year old Irish lasses as being equally suspect with arab men just so we can be "politically correct," which translates as "without common sense."
It reminds me a bit of aids - if we were to start treating it as a highly communicable and deadly disease rather than a civil rights issue, it could be virtually eradicated quickly. Actually, it is a disease that simply following biblical morality would eradicate.
But what a plethora of outraged horror a call for that would cause.
