Reply #87: This is a bit

off the OP's topic, but our conversation here reminded me of something that you might find interesting and disturbing. It has to do with the controversy in the upstate NY town of Sidney. I've wrote a few OPs about how the Town Supervisor was trying to force a Sufi settlement to remove the graves of Islamic people from their cemetery. (Keith Olbermann and others had reported on this.)

Last week, friend Helen O'Neill, a senior writer for AP, published a lengthy story about this controversy. It was in newspapers around the world. One thing she reported struck me as a prime example of Supervisor McCarthy's sick thinking. While Helen was interviewing McCarthy, he pointed to his dog and said, "I could murder Mother Teresa, and that dog would still love me." There are people who are so diseased, that they do not deserve to own a dog.
