Take it from someone who lived in the country for two years. The Finns have a unique quality of combining their great national razor sharp collective sardonic wit and leisure time activities. They really need to give the world mosquito slapping championships another shot.

Lowell, like Carlos Delgado a few years ago has a right to voice and demonstrate his opinion. It is his First amendment right..... Wether we agree or not, he has every right to say what he wants. Having seen it from the other side(or at least many of his family and compatriots) Lowell has all the more appreciation of such rights. As does my father who grew up in a Nazi-occupied Austria which beacame a Soviet occupied Austria. No wonder he emigrated when he got the chance! What we think of what Lowell said is immaterial, we can choose to respect or not respect that on our own voltion and comment on it as we see fit. What we must respect is his RIGHT to say that. The minute we dont, we no longer live in a deomcracy.

Legendary baseball player admits to steroids.
This All makes me wonder... were the rumors about Charlie Brown and Peppermint Patty true? It is not inconceivable as she did fall on hard times and overcompensated for her tomboyish upbringing and became a porn star doing several well known collaborations with Doraemon and even a lesbian scence with Hello Kitty. She eventually left porn and now manages a semi pro softball team to support her crack habit.
