I have a few questions here. What about the African Americans? Aren't they also of African origin? Who came up with the term "average"? Average compared to what? Did they compare "average" Africans to "average" North Americans? Who comes up with this stuff? :) :) Disclaimer- I am using upgraded firefox. I can't seem to indent and this might seem a little AA.

If that were true I'd agree, but maybe you didn't get the OP? Someone obviously didn't proofread a slide that was going to be presented in front of an audience. The result IS (unintentionally) funny and I don't see anything political about it. It's kind of like this one:

I'm still recovering from the Miami Cannibal news, As far as political the title alone garners attention and if I'm stupid enough to come away with that notion, I may be unique but I know I'm not alone. Carry on.

The situation in Africa isn't a good comparison. The tribal wars going on there are responsible for all the starvation. A lot of Americans consume too much but that's pretty much a world wide thing where there is an abundance of food. Until they realize the real problems in Africa, pouring food and aid into those regions will only continue the situation. How do you teach starving people to create a new culture?

No one ever accused me of being politically correct. If they did they would not be around to tell anyone.

I wouldn't worry, most of the politicians are not correct either.

Bub, did you realize that you are actually deleting more than you post?
That flies in the face of the laws of the conservsation of energy. You are creating an anti post. If you continue to delete more than you post, the void will start to pull posts away from those with the most posts, in an effort to equalize the imbalance. Basically, Bapu and Beagle's post counts will slow down, stop and eventually reverse.
You have to stop deleting your posts or we all will suffer. Do you want that on your shoulders?
I have to get back to the TV. I'm watching lost, continuously, from beginning to end. I'm on episode 93.
