Seems Like Old Times
AITOOW thinks Prince was just imitating James Brown? And Clooney is just imitating Tom Selleck? I've got a whole list of these.

Crossed Up
AITOOW doesn't understand the thinking behind burning crosses? You burn the symbol of your savior? To intimidate/scorn your enemies? A savior that preached tolerance? It makes no sense. Burn a pentagram. Burn an effigy. Who thought up the cross?
And how was it that no one else owned a boat or raft besides Noah? It is unlikely that not a soul found their way onto something buoyant.

Slaves To Ignorance
AITOOW wonders how many Americans should feel guilty over slavery? My parents weren't here and their countries didn't do it. How many people living here now had ancestors here before the Civil War? And how many of those owned slaves? I think we are talking about ten percent of the population. At most. And yet the blacks paint us with the same brush. I guess it isn't as compelling a story when we factor in the truth. A large percentage of Americans did nothing to them and owe them nothing.

Administering Special Tumors
AITOOW wonders what the cancer risk is for those big scanners at the airport? How many times a year is too many?

Prerdestina-shun
AITOOW wonders if the whining Mulims I see on tv are infidels? I see alot of incensed Rohingas and Syrians on tv. If their "plight" is the Big A's will, isn't reacting ungratefully to it a sin or proof of doubt? Am I being insensitive to their culture if I feel bad for them? And why are Islamic soldiers always dancing on tv? Is it a Pavlovian reaction to the cameras or are they always ease-ing down the road?

Flash Boys
AITOOW thinks the only collusion the Mueller inquisition will uncover is that of the judicial process and graft, partisanship, petty reprisals,capriciousness and injustice. The more attention you draw to the legal system, the more it reveals its inadequacies. We aren't comforted with the application of justice. The more we see more sausage being made, the more disillusioned we become (as a country). Whether it's OJ, Casey Anthony, Robert Zimmerman or the myriad of congressional inquiries, All we learn is that the legal system is (at best) about law and not justice. And that is when the fix isn't in. I'm cynical enough to think even the most revered crusader has no concern for the reputation of the legal system. It's only the foundation on which a functioning society (especially a democracy) rests on. People like Mueller are flash burning the environment on their legal safaris.
