Happy Horseshit

It's funny. I've been smelling horseshit here in Kansas - there are horse drawn (lighted) carriages making the rounds of the Country Club Plaza for the tourists and holiday revelers. I read this happy horseshit and couldn't believe it. The absolute cluelessness of people never ceases to amaze me.

"Over 170 buses in Richmond, Virginia have one of three signs with Arabic writing promoting silly sayings like, "Paper, Scissors, Rock" and "Paper or Plastic." The bus company has been getting calls from riders wanting to know what the signs mean."

They go on to say:

"Sometimes when people see or hear a language they do not understand it scares them. Muslims stare fear and mistrust in the face almost daily. With these bus signs we are saying that even though we fear what we don't understand we are able to overcome that fear by learning about others. We can rethink bias, but it starts with learning about our neighbors."

As they prepare for our elimination...
