I doubt that very, very much. But even if you could (fat chance)
miraculously beat me at hard scrabble, that's totally beside the point --
which is one that I was sure Lawrence would miss, (but never imagined you
would) -- that Lawrence's comments put him in the driver's seat of
judgment -- judgments based on nothing more than bigotry -- else why would
he even mention the incident? It's bigotry, pure and simple. It's of the
"a very worthy Negro" -- as they have said in Memphis -- variety. I know
you're afraid of Arabs, but there's no need to fear everyone not like you,
Eric. I see in Lawrence's comments the seeds of social and economic
injustice, I don't know what you see. And I could be wrong, of course,
maybe Lawrence pays the guy who cleans his house a living, family, saving
wage. But then, you have to wonder, why then is he working at Jack in the
Box? Maybe the guy's just greedy, eh?
