How would *you* know if some Mid Eastern type people living or working on farm were terrorist? And how would they stick out like a sore thumb as you say?

This is just a guess, but you have never been to Hartford, or even Wisconsin, have you?

Am I missing something here?

Yes you are!

Please enlighten me.

Certainly! This may come as a shock to "Coastal-Americans", but life is different here in fly over country. Towns are smaller and in my experience, people tend know more of their neighbors. Although many people in Hartford work in Milwaukee, it is still possible to know everybody in town. Due to the prevalent demographics in the area, people of Middle Eastern ancestry tend to stand out. I work 15 miles from Hartford and four years ago helped hire the first Middle Eastern national ever in the town I work in. I can tell you, even then, everybody noticed.

Thanks

No problem! :~)

OK Ronald, I am glad to know that any mid easterner that has possibly been in country many years will stick out like a sore thumb in a rural area, and everyone in the area would know that those people on that farm or rural residence are terrorist.

Boy, you sure cleared that up. I feel much safer. Thanks for that Ronald.....

Well, tell me Ronald, how did you confirm that this new hire was not actually a terrorist? Did you conduct a NSA and CIA background investigation? Was he wearing a sign that stated, "I am not a terrorist" ?

Sorry, I couldn't resist....
