That's not what I said. Re-read. If TW was a lesser man, he wouldn't give
a damn. He would have divorced his wife and made no efforts to change.

Possibly. But tagging race to Ken's opinion is ridiculous and dishonest.

I know that you have a Jones for Ken and will not leave him alone.

No problem with blacks. But of course, you don't believe me. I have a
problem with inner city mayhem like armed robberies, trespassing,
vandalism and arson. But, in your twisted world, I am supposed to deal
with it. Even encourage their questionable actions because they have
been subjected to such hardship and disadvantages.

Black members at Trophy Club? No problem. Vandals and trespassers? Big
problem.

Ya, but it was still the tail end of the recession.

The economy's starting to grow right now too, but it doesn't feel like it
does it? Unemployment is still really high, etc. It's because even though
the economy is turning up, it's still near the bottom of the pit.

Same thing in 1994.
