    In the mid 90's, I believe that I was profiled as an "Angry White Male" by our government.
    I have been refused motel rooms while on bike runs because I was ridin' a Harley and looked a little shabby. What did the management think I was going to do, park my bike in the room and clean her up with the motels towels??
    But seriously,,if we do get attacked again,,and again,,and it is by middle eastern men,, will our opinions change on profiling??

    Profiling is just a term for experience. Everyone profiles. It is human nature. We are not supposed to....but we do prejudge. We profile when we pick a town or neighborhood to live in.

    You "profile" every time you hear a name,
    every time you look at a person, every
    time you hear a person speak, every time
    you see a church, every time the person
    next door pisses you off, every time your
    boss is not pleasent, every time wife is
    less than what you wanted, every time your
    child is .....well you get the picture.
    Lets see...I just got profiled as a .....
    fill in the blank.

    later,

    I don't like profiling but like policians, it's a necessary evil. I wear leather, shave my head, am conservative. Here lately the light in their loafer lovers profiled me as a member of a white hate group. Why? Because I dare speak out against homos, budhist, and hindus. My first ammendment right. Well at least I thought I had that right. The liberals fell on me like the plague. The media squirrels tried to find out if I was gun owner. They then said I fit the bill of a white supremist merely because I spoke at a public forum and someone there took my photo. The photo wound up on a website that just happened to have the stars and bars as part of their mascot. I was profiled. It bothered me that they took liberties to label me without even knowing me. But so it is with liberal thinkers "Your rights don't count unless you agree with us." Like I told them, "You made these weak kneed aqusations, now prove them." They couldn't so the last I heard they had crawled back under their rocks.
