Once upon a time, in a land far, far away. I as in a military unit that
used the misnomer "Military Intelligence." One of my duties was to
attend the Klan rallies in a nearby town. It would be me in full
uniform, a Texas Ranger in full suit and white Stetson, an FBI agent,
and maybe a couple of State Troopers. We would stand together, take
pictures when we thought it necessary, and just shake our heads over the
doings. Got to hear David Duke give a speech once, the man is a kook but
charismatic. The worse part was the little kids, four and five years
old, dressed in their satin sheets, being brainwashed by a bunch of old
bigots. They couldn't keep us out, was part of their permit to gather on
private property and make noise.

And, no, I'm not any part black as far as I know. Mostly Native American
with some English blood injected into the bloodline back in the late
fifteenth century.
