Well I apologize for having to answer this to the entire list, but anyone
who thinks my message was racist is simpleminded. Reread my post. I
argued that to believe that torture in Latin America by the military is a
problem of Latin behavior patterns is to entertain a racist belief! I
pointed out that massacre of Indians by Chivington in Colorado in 1864
was NOT a result of ANGLO racial behavior. My message argued that
torture by the military is NOT a behavior problem that is psychological
in nature, but that the torture by the military in LA is determined by
political and economic problems and interests. Now how in the devil
someone decided to turn that statement into me saying something racist
about Latinos is beyond me. Call me a passionate fool, tell me to quit
clogging up the list with my comments, censure me for being a nincompoop,
but call me a racist, and, well, @#$% you buddy!
