That some individual (on the network) takes offense (and hurt etc) at a joke shows his/her psychological diseases. As editors, instead of pandering to paranoias of imbalanced people thereby perpetuating misery, give the world the ability to laugh unconditionally. Psychological hurt is the only real ghost I know. Parents at times show anger towards kids without feeling angry. Likewise you can laugh at racist jokes without feeling racist. By ruling out this possibility you will have shown your mediocre existence. Come on. Laugh with us. I DO NOT find any racism on part of the contributors/moderator or me. No races have been singled out. Infact the ridiculousness of races is laughed at (that is not puporse of the bulletin board. It is a mere side effect). That is the "jews" of the story. Publish this letter as readily as you did the earlier letter O'editor! Sincere but not serious. Madhu Murthy. tel: 612-782-7309(o) addr: 631 University Ave, Minneapolis, MN55413
