>> stereotypes involve behaviors that we have seen more than our share

>> so many "majorities" do the same thing for the same reasons.

I've already apologized to Lisa in net.singles, but I guess I should
do it here, too.  I SCREWED UP.  The above quote [ >> ] is *not* from
Lisa, as I thought it was, but from Rich Rosen.
