You know I think the world would be a better place if governments would just admit their mistakes and sincerely apologize. Then there'd be less jaded people in the world.

How do you expect the media/public/political machine to care about some dude whose story can't be made to implicate the entire election process? That drunk man didn't hurl those epithets at you on behalf of an entire political party and in close range of news cameras, and for that, you must blog alone, brave blogger.

He was all of 5' tall. Maybe 100 lbs. And he wasn't violent.

Black or not, did you really expected someone at the bus stop to intervene with the crazy drunk man?
