Let’s boycott any more Stephen Bloom stories!

Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire.

Why anyone should give a HOOT about what Stephen Bloom thinks, writes, or says is beyond my ken.

Well, it does seem telling that a man who comes from New York can find so much trash to talk about in Iowa. I recall friends who were from Long Island telling me they found it hard to believe that in Iowa you could have two major highways with four way stop signs. My friend stated without wincing, “If that happened in New York, there would be bodies and wrecked cars stacked up all over the place!”
As for minorities and other such things, we don’t build fences around the place to keep people out, although in the professors case we might make an exception (satire, no threat intended). We have in the past invited many people to come to this state. Now we have populations of Lao, Vietnamese, Central Americans, Mexicans, Africans from the many war torn locations, and from the former Yugoslavia. Our population has been resting at around 3 million for as long as I can remember so what does he expect? We aren’t growing large quantities of white supremacist’s, we are importing whomever will come to keep the population stable. That, I might add, includes people of color from Chicago, Peoria, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Omaha, and St. Louis. Maybe not where he lives, but certainly where many of us who aren’t so fortunate to have PHD’s do live. For a man who knows so little of hunting he has to rely on video’s, I’d suggest he doesn’t know beans about what goes on there either. Maybe we aren’t as sophisticated as he would like in the ways of New York or California, but this is Iowa, a place where you learn if you don’t have something good to say, better to say nothing at all.
