Yet again, he wrote everything I could have and should have already written, but with the terrifically emotional iterations of language he's so good at and that I somehow can't do. Thank you.

Incidentally, this better explains exactly what sort of racism motivated Pat Robertson to say what he did, and why. I'm tired of his metaphors. I wish he had the courage to say what he meant (on the off day that he isn't smuggling blood diamonds, of course).

(Also: never, ever read Brad Hicks' commenters. They like him because he's a geek they know, not because they have any kind of conscience or soul. They're mostly Ferrettists. And also partisan Libertarians, but I repeat myself.)
