Kosovars are not another 'them'

Try not to strain your neck, but if you look high enough, Tatiana Covington is at the top of the world.

Ms. Covington wrote a brief letter to the Wildcat advocating that we let "them" kill each other to oblivion; that we shouldn't pay taxes to keep "them" alive and better "them" dead than Tatiana Covington be taxed. She never mentioned "them" by name but I guess if you give a group of people a name or start to admit they belong to the human race and have lives and families like you, it might bother you if they get brutally slaughtered. As long as it's "them" it doesn't matter.

Germans didn't mind killing "them." Hutus didn't mind killing "them." The White Man didn't mind killing "them."

And then there's Tatiana Covington. She doesn't mind "them" killing "them" either. If I stuck a rifle down your throat, would Tatiana give me a quarter to spare your life? I don't know. Ask her.

You should ask yourself if we need more people in this world who say: Not at my expense; or better them dead than me taxed.

So this country annihilates that one, that one annihilates this one, I kill you and you kill me. And there you have Tatiana Covington with a sack full of gold, all alone at the top of the world!
