Stop the virulence!

Enough bigotry on this BLOG!

I am assuming that many of the virulent comments from muslim-haters come from non-LLNL people. In that case, I look at such commenters as ignorant people that are still scared by the Bush propaganda.
These are the same people that despite the bad shape they are in economically still worship Bush. They really believe (honestly) that if Bush was not the president, we will have the terrorists roaming our airports!

In the event some of these anti-muslim comments are from LLNL employees, I have a message for them:
US citizenship, the right to life and the pursuit of happiness (and the right to have a Q clearance)are not the monopoly of any given race or religion.

As Anna Julian Cooper put it:
"The cause of freedom is not the cause of a race or a sect, a party or a class, it is the cause of humankind, the very birthright of humanity."

How do you feel?

Anonymously asked:
You don't have to give an elaborate answer; a yes or no will suffice.

Do you really care about LLNL futures?
Since the LLNS take-over is coming to work just a job that brings in a paycheck?
Since the LLNS take-over do you still feel you have a career worth investing more than eight hours a day for ?
Is LLNL still your life ?

Note from Scooby:
We had a poll In January asking similar questions and we got very few responses.
