I guess they can't "bring home the pork" anymore either.

What would they do if somebody had the Madelene Albright swimsuit calendar?

This is sort of off topic but it comes to mind this morning.(Warning rant to follow) What we are seeing in the muslim population in a general sense is shamelessness. When shame is dumped by the offender the recipient is usually someone of lower class i.e. wife, daughter, son or relative.The result of this dumping is the offender becomes shameless. We see a lot of shameless behavior from muslims in varying degrees.

The strict adherence of the muslim faith to a singular authority i.e. Muhammad, Imam, father, only intensifies this ongoing cycle. The need for strict rules outside of self only intensifies when there is no inner sense of conscience or remorse. The trust in yourself to do the right thing extends to a belief that others will do the right thing. A lack of trust in one's conscience leads to a need for heavy, top down authority. Shame based people don't have a normal conscience or remorse. Instead they have no shame and consider themselves superhuman or they go to the other end and feel and act sub-human. It is very similar to narcissism where the person is totally self centered and either 10' taller than everyone else or 10' lower and common to both extremes is the self centeredness.

Shame issues are a problem for humanity not just muslims. I need to bring this up because it's not just "them" that we must deal with.

America is the shining light because we have created the space to understand these common themes in human nature. While it is true that all this self inspection can have it's negatives there are also hopeful positives that can come out of these explorations. If nothing else it is important to understand your enemy without and within.

Ranting over.

Remember the human digestive system most resembles that of a pig. Maybe that's why they don't want to see pigs in the work place.

If I worked there I would roast a whole pig and bring it to work for lunch everyday..
