I don't know about you, but I am waxing much more impatient over MOOZ-lem insistence that we are insensitive to their religion and their traditions. On tonight's news comes the story about employee at Disneyland out here in Anaheim who is unhappy because she was dismissed for wearing an unauhorized head scarf while playing her part. (Employees at Disneyland are called "cast members".) Of course, she retained a MOOZ-lem lawyer, etc. I'm thinking settlement and payoff to make her go away; not a bad days work for donning a kerchief.
But there are other instances of this almost daily. Mrs War Planner -- a green-card-carrying-permanent-resident-about-to-become-a-citizen from the Land of the Rising Sun -- keeps mumbling the old, "when in Rome" aphorism. Almost 30 years here in the West and Madame W. P. has had no problem with the Roman thingy.
She loves hamburgers ("In-n-Out" double-double, especially) and whatever beer's on special at Rite Aid.
..but, alas, I am tiptoeing up to the demarcation line of intolerance, I guess. But, like Bunni, I get tired of being treated like a trogladyte in my own country.
*sigh*
