Not Like Summer Camp

As reported by Yahoo! News, A North Carolina congressman who’s a member of a homeland security committee said that he supports the government’s decision during the second world war to intern Japanese-American citizens. I can’t believe (okay, well I can) that we entrust our well-being to people like this. I mean, after the Trent Lott thing, you’d think that our heads of state would be smart enough to pass easy tests. You know, questions like, “Is racial hatred a bad thing?” or “Should all innocent citizens be treated equally?” I guess it is at least good they’re not smart enough to hold their tongues so that we find out about this stuff.
