I hear what you're saying and I think it's a valid point of consideration. I think it's really important to establish that racist statements, bumper stickers, or banners are completely unacceptable, but what can we do? I'll have to think about this more. I think a lot of times we bite our tongue and endure it, but but that's a bad thing. Then again, it's tough to deal with those people who guffaw at every comment and talk over you. Thanks for writing.
