Well, Sears, it cuts both ways: I'll condemn complete strangers to hell for living a lifestyle I don't condone, deny good people the right to marry the one person in the world they love most, and throw eggs at a woman who chooses to do something I personally don't approve of. I'll let my teenage son beat up a kid at school for being gay, tell racists jokes at work, and sexually harrass the women who work in my office/store/shop. I'll complain about how the Chinese are taking our jobs, then go shopping at Wal-Mart. I'll complain about gas prices, but still go to work in an SUV. I'll feed my kids junk food all day, then wonder why they're so fat. I'll let my kids watch TV all day, but complain when they don't act right. And so on, and so on.

Wow, Sears, whether you're pretending to be someone else or you're being yourself, you're impossible to like either way... quite an accomplishment!

Not me. I am an elitist Democrat. I plan to watch movies about other races to show how tolerant and diverse I am, at which point I will retreat to my nearly all white enclave in Lincoln/Wicker Park. On the way home I will think about how accepting I am of other cultures. Then, I will mock anyone who is the slightest bit different than me. You like music they play on the radio? A restaurant with more than one location? Someone who hasn't travelled the world becuase they have to work for a living? Non-college educated? NASCAR fan? What a bunch of pitiful losers. They could never be as wonderful as me.

Aubergine- did you live under a rock in 1987? Not only was 1987 the year 'Leonard Part 6' came out, but it was also the year of the last NFL strike. Regardless of political affiliation, there was widespread consensus to cross the picket lines and end the strike. Seriously, you dont remember the "San Francisco Phoney Niners", "New Orleans Saint Elsewheres" and "Seattle Sea-scabs."

NFL goes on strike. Team owner hires Keanu Reeves and rag-tag gang of amateurs to cross the picket lines and take the team to the playoffs. Bleeding heart conservatives endorse crossing picket lines of any organization. Why not professional football?
