The fact that it's a small minority who moves down that road, the fact
minority members stand among the most important spokesman, the fact
everyone from Bush to Giuliani to the hard hat workere are saying the same
thing, all of this is going to make it hard to whip up the hate. It's one
of the truly "millenial" hopeful signs amidst the rubble.
Maybe something has been learned in the last 40 years.
