<div><em><strong>Ron, who are you channeling? I'm
surprised to hear you making excuses for this sort of
thing.</strong></em></div>
</div><div style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><em><strong></strong></em><br>Today I handed
down Luc's earlier posting to a lot of people - all of them (Germans) were
amused.</div>

<div style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">Let's keep these old and silly stereotypes - no
one with brain will take them seriously, today.</div>
<div style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">To be trapped within that modern stupid "political
correctness" is much worse, I think.</div>

the widest circulation after "BILD" is a lot more unpleasant (for Germans only,
of course ;-)). Sometimes a distorting mirror is needed to point out
the truth. </div>
