Catering to the insensitivity of bigots and the willfully ignorant is a delicate process
But it can't happen without misrepresenting the facts:

Islam = "Terrorists"

Community Center = "Mosque"

Right Wing Bigots = "Concerned Citizens"

Blocks away from the former WTC = "Ground Zero"



Ah, the games we Americans play.

3. It's impossible to legislate morality.

Or ethics. Or compassion.

It's strictly a numbers game. X amount of people are Y. Smart, Smart people figured this out a long time ago...

Unfortunately, we are out-numbered by them.

Sucks doesn't it?
