What you mean WE, white man? ... At first I was afraid to comment, as I have been more than vocal in the last 24 hours, but then I decided that I thought this important enough to bring up. This was the first time on this list that I noticed such an obvious reference to race, granted I'm fairly new to the list,(quite new in fact), and when I think about it, there were several references to Russians and Jews in some of the other posts about Dr. Vulis and his practices. In my rose colored view, I had not taken notice, possibly because they were comments about the statements made by an individual, more likely because I'm gratefully ignorant to most of the filth of this imperfect world. I was unaware of some of the hardships some of my friends and their friends still go through just because of their skin color.

And this, my friends, is a perfect example of the goofy results of the doctrine of Political Correctness. My comment was not a reference to race, but rather an allusion to an old joke, to wit: The Lone Ranger and his faithful side-kick, Tonto, are trapped in a box canyon by an attaching war party of Apache Indians.
