The head of the Catholic League in NYC this morning, in an interview with Fox News, compared the plight of Christians in America to blacks in South Africa under apartheid.
Try not being a christian in America sometime and see how it goes for you. Some places it's not too bad but when I was picking up my hanukah gifts on saturday, I was asked if I was going to wait till christmas. I issued a non-comittal no.
I wanted to add, that it was the first day of hanukah, but was afraid to. Not that I think they're going to start up the Pogroms again in Austin (I have nice neighbors) but I didn't want to have that whole, "You're a Jew? Funny, you don't look Jewish" conversation. And then be known forever after as that Jewish fellow in building 5.
