I can tell there's sarcasm or irony there, by the tone of voice, but other than that, I cannot work out what this posting is about. Could someone give me some pukka gen on this?
One has to go back a bit: a) Person of colour runs for US Prez. b) US says "We are not bigotted or racist, no, not us!" c) Person of colour wins. d) Proportion of US population goes seriously flaky, claiming person of colour was not born in US, is trying to kill all US grandmothers by providing medical treatment, etc. Commodity prices for tin-foil start to creep upward. e) Prez of colour takes interest in education, and states intention of giving pep talk to students at beginning of school year. f) Proportion of US population, terrified at the thought of someone encouraging students to learn something during the school year, tries all possible means to prevent said pep talk from happening. (In Chris' case, the school board said that the telecast could be shown, but only if all parents signed off permission for their youngsters to attend, said permission to be publicized and obtained during a holiday weekend.) (In opposition to the rest of the world, which celebrates labour holiday at the beginning of the summer holiday period, North Am reminds workers that the next day is when they have to go *back* to work ...) ====================== (quote inserted randomly by Pegasus Mailer) rslade () vcn bc ca slade () victoria tc ca rslade () computercrime org I think we have to realize that Canada is not immortal.
