Ten years ago today

Perhaps today is a good day to do some "profiling"... Q: What do these have in common? (Hint: you could spend a week adding names and still not have an exhaustive list.)

• Timothy McVeigh
• Eric Rudolph
• William Krar
• Jeff Weise
• Matthew Hale
• Richard Molinare
• Benjamin Smith

A: They all believed that using guns and bombs to kill people is justified by racism and acted on that belief. (The "act" separates them from big-hat-no-cattle haters such as Coulter, DeLay, Limbaugh, or Falwell.)

Q: What lesson can we learn from this? A: Raise your children to believe in diversity, human rights, racial equality, and liberal politics. Perhaps then they won't promote their principles at the point of a gun.
