The original article question almost seems like nervous paranoia. Like having different cultures in our country would somehow destroy it. It's up to the individual to cherish and pass down customs, traditions and culture.
nikiTa, yes, that's the one. The dude went whacko just before 2000, like the world was going to end, and he hid out on his farm in the middle of Woop-woop, Australia... I personally haven't seen anything of him since...
And HECK, you're absolutely right. That was my first opinion of it, and that's why I can't be bothered giving the article a second thought

Yes, I've been missing Jean-Claude in a big way...
it's too bad because I could have very well reprogrammed his mainframes in COBOL and patched his pc's to reflect a four digit date in order to quell his fears of Y2K...
but alas....maybe he's happy in the outback.
Sadly, this has become my favorite topic in here. I suppose it has something to do with the fact that paranoid people amuse me. They're the best to argue with because they are so steadfast in their views. Converting a paranoid is like turning a gay man straight. Its a challenge I take with the slap of a glove.
This dude I used to work with would sleep outside this woman's house to make sure she was safe, then he would walk to work and when we'd ask why he didn't shower he'd say something about parasites in water. His clothes were mouldy, and his desk was covered in bugs. But it was interesting to keep him around. Once, he come into my office, stick his finger on his head and spun around in a circle going "meep meep meep meep"... on another occasion, it was like 11pm at night (I wasn't at work, but I was told about it), he came into his boss and said "hey, there's a toilet overflowing in the woman's bathroom!" ... first response from his boss "... hmm............................what the hell were you doing in the women's bathroom?" The dude was seriously paranoid though, he hadn't gone home in 6 years apparently because he knew someone was going to track him down there... he was very forthcoming with his paranoia though.
Point of the story: we only kept him employeed because he was a laugh. His boss fired him once he became too much of a liability.

back up in dat azz wit da resurrection (or something)
for some odd reason, while the word "Ganya" was still just a thought-dropping in my head, I thought it'd only be four letters. But apparently it's five. yep.
