    A racial tint? Are you referring to the riots that came after the Rodney King beating/LAPD verdict? Just a riot of the haves and have-nots, eh...that continued well beyond the point were everyone got their free TV and VCR...that's a very novel and trivial way of reflecting on an event of that magnitutde.

    So all the articles and TV reports that have been written and televised on the subject of this event are completely wrong, and we should only take your word, cuz your were like there 'in the trenches and all'. And you were the only cameraman there? You were working for ABC-TV and they decided not to use your footage? And what's this got to do with healthcare again? This type of self-aggrandizing statement is becoming very typical of you. Or, to put in more uncivil, inflammatory, sanctimonious terms (i.e. your words):

    "I would like to remind you that YOU are not every cameraman. Your experiences are not reflective of a broader journalist. Keep that in mind. Not everyone thinks like you do, or will agree with what you agree with. The facts and figures bare this out. Is your head so fat, and ego so big, that you think your experience mirrors everyone elses? You think you know what you are talking about, but you know a grand total of nothing. Your world is not everyones world. When you get that through your thick and empty skull, then we can move on and deal with the facts.

    "Experience is meaningless in this particular example. That facts are the only thing relevant right now. Your experience does not equal facts. This statement shows just how damn ignorant you are. I will choose the facts over your experience any day. You jumped into this thread throwing your so called experience, and as you can see, it is worth nothing. Next time you bust into a thread throwing around your experience, make sure that experience is relevant in the context of the conversation."

    I could post pages of links to support what I just typed but its old news, everyone that posts here knows what happened and doesn't need the history lesson, revisionist (yours) or otherwise. Lets stay on-topic and leave race and religion out of the discussion please.
