Fascinating site. My friends kid me about going to Colombia + Morocco + a KKK cross burning. They should see this website!
Interesting stuff.

I thought your blog was pretty interesting until I read your story about passing through homeland security at Charlotte-Douglas. Now I think at worst you are just a liar, or at best a bigot that buys into stereotypes. When traveling, it’s best to try to leave your prejudices at home.

Thank you for your comment, Dan. I would presume that you either work for DHS or live in the Charlotte-Douglas area (or both). First of all, what I relayed is exactly what happened. So, perhaps you are too invested (emotionally, physically, etc.) in DHS or the Carolinas to see the goings on there objectively? I have traveled extensively in the South and have dealt with DHS numerous times and have plenty of material to form my views.
Secondly, regardless of whether you agree with me, it should not in any way make my blog more or less interesting. Do you just stop listening to someone when you disagree with them? If so, you’re not one to lecture me on prejudices and stereotypes as that merely makes you guilty of hypocrisy. If I rejected something every time I disagreed with a component of it, I would never vote, would never read the newspaper, watch television, read books, etc. Part of learning and abandoning prejudices is learning to process differing points of view.
As you did not even have the courage to leave a real email address, and thus will avoid any followup comments or emails, I can only say that you have done a marvelous job of reinforcing my criticisms both in this response and in my original posting.
