Now that you mention it, I have heard of that New Madrid Quake, but I didn't make the connection. What threw me off was the way you referred to it as "that New Madrid fellow". Silly me, I thought you were talking about some guy who has been in the news lately.
I don't know if the Middle East is better or worse off now than it was before. As far as I'm concerned, it never was worth a fuck and still isn't. I can understand why people who live there would want to go live someplace else, but that doesn't mean I want them living next door to me. I wouldn't mind a few of them around, as long as they don't take over the neighborhood. I've got nothing against minorities, as long as they stay minorities. When the minority becomes the majority, that puts me in the minority, and I don't want to be there.
I never said that everybody should go back where they came from, just that everybody should have their own place and be surrounded by their own people. The Russians have expressed an interest in the Middle East, so let them have it. The Middle Easterners don't seem to want to live there anymore, and somebody needs to take care of all those oil wells. What if one of them blew out and there was nobody around to cap it off? Europeans are rapidly becoming a minority on their own continent, so evacuate them to North America before somebody starts discriminating against them. I said something like that about the Jews a long time ago. There are only seven million Jews in Israel and at least twice that many in the United States. Wouldn't the Jews be happier if they were all in the same place? Isn't that why they founded the modern nation of Israel? Apparently somebody didn't think this thing through. I'm sure it would have been easier to fit seven million Jews into the U.S. than it was to shoehorn them into a little country the size of New Jersey that was already full of Muslims. This is what happens when you trust the government, or worse yet the United Nations, to solve your problems for you.
You're right that we don't have problems like that in my neighborhood. If I didn't read newspapers or watch television I wouldn't even know about this stuff. I thought we had a problem with our local Indians until you pointed out to me that there are so few of them. I feel much better now knowing that they aren't likely to rise up and push us into the Straits of Mackinac any time soon.
Speaking of reading things in the newspaper, I read today that there is a tough Black cop in Chicago who is in trouble for being a little too tough. I expect you've heard of Glenn Evans by now. Some people swear by him, and some people swear at him. What's your take on this?
