For the record Holy Cross used to have a robust ROTC program in my day. Knew quite a few Marine aviators who matriculated there. No longer? One more thing: isn't Sociology like Scientology? Just more B.S. getting ink that someone without critical reasoning powers may read. b2 Ooops, fliterman, like flak, got me off target.

Click the "show the rest" link near the bottom. The post cites several newspapers by name and date of spitting incidents. It wasn't as isolated as you may think. And while you may not believe it, it doesn't mean is isn't true. <blockquote>notwithstanding the alleged and slightly different but still revolting Joshua Sparling [spit at the ground and not at him] incident, </blockquote> alleged. Well it was in the NY Times...it must be true, right? Spit at the ground <i>towards</i> him. Slightly different, yes. The sentiment is the same. <blockquote>I am not aware of many if any similar incidents occurring today. Are you?</blockquote> You also didn't seem to be too <i>aware</i> of many if any similar incidents occuring back then either. I'm not <i>aware</i> of other more recent incidents either...yet. It is possible the angry side of the left has learned something. As for the rest of your "now let's just change the subject" comments, they are not the subject of the post. fliterman

alleged. Well it was in the NY Times…it must be true, right? Spit at the ground towards him. Slightly different, yes. The sentiment is the same.

I am not aware of many if any similar incidents occurring today. Are you?

You also didn’t seem to be too aware of many if any similar incidents occuring back then either. I’m not aware of other more recent incidents either…yet. It is possible the angry side of the left has learned something.

As for the rest of your “now let’s just change the subject” comments, they are not the subject of the post.

I never did mind someone disagreeing with me, but there was all that other jazz schmeared on top of it that was off-putting. I'm glad to have (hopefully) seen the last of that.
