Clouds - You talkin' to me? Are YOU talkin' to ME?

As I said, I've seen more bad cops than good cops. I know all about Chicago - it's been my home for 47 years. As you said, Chicago is pretty well known for their "bad cops." My own experience supports this reputation, so I won't argue with you there. Won't argue with the danger level in some areas either.

I referred to sign language and Americans being famous for their "Wild West" past internationally. We boast about it ourselves with our nation's capitol Washington Redskins football team, and all the hullabaloo over Indian mascots in schools.

This has been the excuse all along to keep Indian mascots - national pride in killing off all those "savages." Did you know the State of Tennessee recently passed a LAW protecting the right of schools to keep their disrespectful mascots/team names?

We can see firsthand what it can do to a person to be continually mocked and ridiculed for their heritage/culture - it's all over the news.
