[Ads-l] Now in your hands, the the key to the "singularity"...

[Cohen, Gerald Leonard]

Hmmm. What's this all about?  I've been a long-time member of this list
and don't remember any racist messages being sent.  Racist terms may
occasionally appear as part of a discussion on language, but I don't remember
them every appearing with a racist intent (e.g., anti-black, anti-Oriental).

why choose to be racist when you can choose to be a decent human being?
