Now there's an intelligent post!


The wasps in this country have created an environment where all are
welcome and everyone gets their chance at prosperity. Too bad you can't
put aside your prejudice.

I didn't see John saying he hated WASP's.  I saw him saying that he
hated wasps.  The use of lower case letters would suggest that it wasn't
an acronym, but the insect to which he was referring.

I'm sorry I don't like wasps, it's only that when they sting me, I get a violent
allergic reaction and I start to swell up.  I still don't like wasps even though
they make you feel welcome in North America.
