Yup...
I guess it is pretty obvious already.

I've got a quote here with me too. By Chamberlain, the Chamberlain as mentioned in one of those points above, but I think I'd better not have it up. I don't want some people to come after me the next day. Especially after reading the Protocols, as mentioned earlier. I know, the Protocols are supposed to be written by some poser Russian, but we never know, it might be real after all.

Heck! I'm not what you might think I am. Really. I'm just curious why one group of people can be so darn hated by others that they ought to have all died.

Counter me! I would love to hear comments, say from one of the subjugated people. Flood me with counter arguments!
