K, there are many times that I read the ignorance of whatever your latest post is and it makes me wish that you develop brain cancer. Can you possibly adhere to a more dogmatic religion than that of extremist political correctness. The redskins do not have a racist team name, but if you are a subscriber to superstition as you are, then I assume most of life may be pretty hard for you to take. It is small minds like yours that cause people to open fire on crowds.
