[ale] OT: Security code on Credit/Debit cards revisited

[Richard Bronosky]

I've defended nothing except the English language and society. The
following words all have descrete meanings:
Stereotyp e
Predjudice
Segregation
Discrimination
Racism

They are often practiced in conjunction with. one another. However,
their meanings are different and the differences should be known. We
should be teaching these things to our children. I was taught this in
school and it made an impression on me. Of these 5 words the last one
is the most dispicable. It has no possitive application.

I would suggest looking those terms up in a dictionary that predates
the redefining of those terms by the modren media. Maybe something
before about 1975.
