Sign O' The Times - I Tip My Hat Off To YOU, P.

This being a definate sign of the times:

Two SUSPECTED al-Quaeda members were arrested in Germany and, guess what? Like MOST MLM'ers, they aren't willing to "do the work themselves". They've been recruited into al-Quaeda and have, rather than be the idealistic martyr themselves, agreed to recruit OTHER suicide attackers. Way too many former mental hospital residents on the loose for them NOT to see a "good opportunity" to enrich themselves with those big, fat "terrorism insurance" payouyts Bin Laden's cohorts were promising everyone who "gave their lives in the fight against the white devil". Lord have mercy! Half the people they call "white devils" aren't caucasian themselves! Leave it to Prince to recognize this problem YEARS in advance. I can remember witting in an apartment in Los Angeles, CA, near Tom Cruise's favorite Century City haunts, listening to "The Black Album" the DAY it was released. Boy! Did I EVER recognize the times were changin'. I looked around the room and realized that my friend, Cindy, being half-black and me, being Native, Chicano, Latino, Caucasian, and Black, were the two fairest people in the room. She was a blue-eyed brunette streaked blonde and I a reddish, carmel colored (when tan, mind you) brown-eyed red head. We now might have to be a little more careful moving about South Central Los Angeles among friends AND family, because there were way to many Chets and Threats, real ones mind you, trying to swing us "THEIR WAY". The threats, being black people, some of whom both of us were related to and the Chets being people who were trained to avoid any real blackness, however so much as they revelled in Black Culture. Deep and MIGHTY Food For Thought.
