Multi-culturalism is ripe

The inevitable is now happening. Put another way; ideas have consequences. About thirty years ago, traditional liberal thought said this day would come. Those people were pronounced ethnocentric when the pronouncer was being particularly smarmy; mostly they're just called conservatives now-a-days. While the below article speaks of Britain and Canada, it's written by a Canadian, it's naive to think that the same philosophy is not present, and hard at work, in America. What you'll read is usually the type of thing that makes you say you're glad you don't live in Somalia. No matter, Somalia is coming to us.

More racist thinking

Repeat the thoughts expressed in this article and you'll be called a racist.

A small victory in Philadelphia

It's too bad that Philadelphia has a human rights commision, as if the US Constitution isn't the greatest human right's declaration ever printed (but somehow found inadequate.). At least they decided in Philly that encouraging customers to speak english is not a violation of their basic human rights, but it was hardly unanimous.
