Guess I'll hit Home Depot instead.<br /><br />Bigotry and willful ignorance infuriate me. I'm not real happy with a lot of things in any given religion, but this sort of thing is the dregs.K.C.

Last time I checked, we haven't had a "terrorist" incident in metro-Detroit, nor do those of the Islamic faith storm Christian churches in the area. We do, occasionally, have idiots like the Rev. Terry Jones show up in Dearborn and burn copies of the Koran.Scott Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09744436601853807608noreply@blogger.com
