I agreed with Freidman at the time, and still strongly agree.
Small-minded people like Norm Mineta had to do "something," and do something they did.

Too bad so many people are so stupid.
Who was it who said something to the effect of: "Think how stupid the AVERAGE person is. Now just consider that half of the citizens are even more stupid"?
