More evidence of human stupidity: Reports on the radio this morning that the Chicago islamic center was vandalized last night. A long report on the neighborhood of Bridgeview, where many of Chicago's Arab-Americans live, on how idiots have been terrorizing the neighborhood, telling Arab-Americans to "go home" and "this isn't your country." When it was pointed out that hey, these people were born here, one idiot said "I don't care, their ancestors didn't come from here, they should go back to where they came from.' Listen asshole -- unless you are full-blood Native American, YOUR ancestors didn't come from here, either. This whole country is made up of immigrants. We were all, at some point, from somewhere else. That's part of or strength. The folks who run the Mr. Submarine in Bridgeview didn't bomb anything. Leave them the fuck alone.

In my Junk mail folder: "MAKE BUSINESS BOOM!" and "We are looking for foreign residents.. " Idiots. Perhaps these are not messages you should be sending out now, under the circumstances. Grrrr.
