Hypocrisy is its own dissemblance... By Ronnie Wilson
ecently, there has been a considerable amount of political uproar concerning the United States’ acceptance of refugees, in the news. Several states have taken it upon themselves to invoke rigid limitations or even prohibitions on that particular state accepting refugees from certain portions of the world. The logic of many if not all of these proposed bannings has been, “since there is even an infinitesimal chance one of these refugees may have terrorist tendencies, all such similar nationalities should be refused refugee status. Though it is my understanding the federal process to vet refugees is quite extensive and lengthy, the fear is that there may be one hiding in the process somewhere.

(BTW - the federal government regulates the acceptance of refugees into the United States, not state governments, but that is another column.) I am wondering if these same politicians would be willing to ban other currently accepted groups based on their small percentage of extremists. That is apply the same set of “safeguard the public” mentality to real and obvious dangers. If the threshold for banishment of all particular members of a group is the existence of merely a very small number of extremists then that philosophy should be applied to
other groups as well. It would seem only fair to do such. If a small sect of a religious organization preaches, professes and strives to eradicate all who do not believe exactly as they do, then all members of that religion should be banned - correct? If a small percentage of hallu-
cinating, schizophrenic, pathologically unbalanced members of a particular group randomly eradicate those they fear, as well as bystanders, for whatever onerous acts they perceive are being perpetrated upon them, should all members of that group be held accountable? Before we make any rash decisions on who and what to ban due to extremely unlikely future occurrences, we may want to take a hard look at how slippery that slope will quickly become.
Say what???!!! Read rhymes with lead, and read rhymes with lead, but read and lead don’t rhyme, and neither do read and lead. The complex houses married and single soldiers and their families. This sentence plays with our common parts of speech assumptions. At first, you probably assumed “complex” was an adjective, “houses” a noun, and “married” a verb. Actually, the sentence only makes sense if “complex” is a noun, “houses” a verb, and “married” an adjective. All the faith he had had had had no effect on the outcome of his life. Good luck getting this sentence past Microsoft Word’s grammar check, even though it is grammatically correct. This sentence
uses the past perfect tense back-to-back, with the first and third “hads” being auxiliary verbs. Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo. Yes, this is a grammatically correct sentence. Since the word “buffalo” is an animal, a city, and a verb in English This statement is about a bullying war between bison from New York and the buffalo that they pick-on. A rough-coated, dough-faced, thoughtful ploughman strode through the streets of Scarborough; after falling into a slough, he coughed and hiccoughed. With nine possible pronunciations, the “ough” letter combination is probably one of the most versatile in the English language. The sentence illustrates that by making use of every one of them! Who says American English is difficult to understand?
