Simple minds like simple things. Does that exclude simple-minded people from having standards? What about IT, called God or Jehova or Buddha or Allah or Olórún -- and many other names? Does our respective IT have standards? Do we think our IT would like to always listen to Kooky Wooky playing "Doody Woody" or prefer a little Chopin from time to time? Does our IT demand that we humans observe certain standards of conduct? Would our IT bless a Moses of the Israelites rather than a Hitler of the Nazis?
Would our IT accept ignorant mobs that tramp through the streets yelling, "Kill all Jews and Americans . . !" ? What about these people who weep, moan, and cry crocodile tears, "Theys 'scriminating ''ginst us 'cause of our color . . . ." Okay, Mr. and Mrs. smarty britches, suppose we were all the same color; would that be the end of discrimination against you? Don't you think an IT could find some imperfection in you?
What about these people in Chicago and other cities always whining about the need for more police protection? Would our respective IT say: "Police and guns aren't producing these shooters; the shooters come primarily from people stagnating in low subcultures in communities with endless churches and cathedrals. But you never hear a preacher or priest or ethnic 'leader' or politician say that the 'culture' producing these gangs and shooters needs to be updated." Would our respective IT promote or accept followers who constantly produce perpetrators of indiscriminate violence? If not, can we -- as mere mortals -- do less?

Butch Cassidy And Sundance
Butch Cassidy and the Sudance Kid epitomize that hard-nosed, tenacious "stick-to-itness" togetherness -- come what may -- yet unswerving loyalty to rugged individualism that characterized the first whites landing on these shores in the 15th and 16th centuries. Butch Cassidy and Sundance represent a culture when gunmen "shot it out" with other men who also had guns.
They didn't walk into schools and start killing unarmed, helpless men, women, and children; they didn't walk into a theater and start killing unarmed, helpless men, women, and children watching a movie; they didn't shoot into crowds of unarmed, helpless men, women, and children and kill them in "ride-by" shootings.
They didn't ride down a street and see a lone man jogging and shoot him in the back, killing him. They didn't ride into a Navy Yard in Washington, D.C. and start firing bullets at unarmed, helpless men and women.
Butch Cassidy and Sundance didn't hide behind: "Somebody hurt my feelings, so I'm gonna get even with them. I'm gonna start killing people." Butch Cassidy and Sundance were real men.

Arabs And "Blacks"
We start with the Arabs because everyone who can read should know that centuries and centuries ago it was Arabs who went into Afrika and not Afrikans who went into Arabic countries. The Arabs kicked butt and enslaved in Afrika and soon Afrikans were taking Arab identities and accepting Islam as their religion. We mention this because these race-hustlers are constantly hustling European people for enslaving blacks, but they never hustle Arabs for the enslavement of blacks.
This centuries-old contact between Arabs and blacks is so prevalent today because Arab countries are daily in the news; and we see -- after "blacks" have had these Arab identities in Arab countries for centuries -- a discrepancy screaming for attention.
We have a black president of the United States -- the most powerful nation in the world, but we never see a black face among the officials ruling in the arena of politics and the economy in any Arabic country. In fact, we never see blacks among the Arab masses, although we know that they've been in these Arabic countries for centuries. And we strongly suspect -- from experience with those in the United States -- that they might not even identify as black people. Now, is anyone so naive that he or she doesn't know that the Arabs' view of blacks -- and there's much evidence to support it -- extends to a black president of the United States? Or is it "politically incorrect" to ask that?
