Oh, I thought the first post was bad enough by itself.

Just imagine: if somebody suggested that members of any social category
(fill in the blank with any of them) should be enrolled to open the mail
in Washington -- and thus be put on the front lines of exposure to
anthrax -- it would be described as hate speech.   

It's surprising that some people think they are entitled to say such
things.
