You're right !!! I don't think Cereoid...is old enough to deserve
being called a 'dumb' Pollack. He's probably a 2nd or 3rd generation
American with American parents. And if I read your posting
correctly, you're not Polish enough or perhaps not old enough to
even realize that 'dumb' Pollack used to be one hell of a compliment
within the Polish Community.


As far as "Baltimore being the city that reads"...... I normally
speak only from direct provable experience.....
I see nothing about Baltimore that leads to me think that it
encourages reading more than any other of the big cities. And
interaction on a daily basis with it's many diverse citizens, makes
me realize that.... reading and acquisition of knowledge is not
high on it's list of priorities. Contrast level of knowledge and
education between Baltimore to the north and D.C. to the sound
there's no comparision. !!!

I would probably have to classify you as a typical sanitized
politically correct, non-thinking american educated poster, whose
lipservice of "valuing diverstiy' excludes all non-americanized
forms of diverse and cultural expression, customs and history.
Whether this is because you have not been part of history or
chose to ignore it completely is up to you.

and the pseudonym keeps me off the spam lists....

Typical anonymous troll, pipe up with the slurs and hide behind a
