Thanks OldSchoolBoy. You bring up a great point about how anger is being criminalized. It remineds me of an e-mail newsletter I received just the other day from a site called Jihad Watch. Political correctness has all but destroyed Europe, and it's turned its eyes toward us now. Gert Wilders, an outspoken Dutch politician who has criticized the so-called Islamization of Europe was recently put up on charges of inciting hatred. Think of that for a moment, and then I'll provide the link.
Inciting hatred. Not violence, not criminal behavior, but an emotion. And if you've seen Gert's films or listened to him, you quickly realize he's not inciting a damn thing. He's only CRITICIZING. Criticizing the fact that Muslims are making more and more demands on European free speech, or preaching REAL hatred and violence in their mosques and nothing is done about it. Muslims can take to the streets in Europe and riot and threaten death to anyone who opposes Islam (or anyone who does political cartoons of Mohammed), and the authorities do nothing about it. But Gert Wilders releases a video or two, speaks out against unchecked Islamic political power in Europe, and HE'S the one brought up on charges. All because he "incited hatred", supposedly.
Here's a link to the article:

And what's at stake? Only all of western civilization. Do you guys know there are already Sharia courts in Britain? So far they only have jurisdiction over civil matters, but tell that to a wife whose Muslim pig husband beats her to a pulp and she wants a divorce. Since the Sharia court can decide on the matter, and since no British court will overturn it, she'll probably avoid seeking justice completely because she knows the Sharia judge will give her husband a slap on the wrist (at BEST) and then she'll be in for the beating of her lifetime when she gets back home. Can you imagine it? Political correctness has so infected Europe that these people have allowed foreigners to come into their country, demand their own sets of laws, and they GAVE IT TO THEM!
What does all this have to do with senile old Dan Rooney and his give-away-everything-including-the-sink-to-blacks NFL policies? Everything, because it's all part of the same liberal sickness. Appeasement, appeasement, appeasement. That's the watch word of the day. In Europe they appease the Muslims. In America we appease he blacks. Soon everyone will be appeased for everything --- everyone accept caucasians, that is --- and law and order will go out the window. You mark my words.
Talking nice about Dan Roney despite what he's done is just playing their liberal game of appeasement. I won't talk nice about him. I wish him an aneurysm --- how's that for nice?
And getting back to the original topic --- i.e. will the Rooney Rule soon go away --- I just don't know about it. If you look up the Rooney Rule on Wikipedia you'll see they're even thinking about adopting it for college football as well. Believe me, folks, liberalism SPREADS like a cancer. It is never appeased, it is never satisfied. It grows and grows until you wake up one day and you don't recognize the world you live in anymore. University students are being indoctrinated as we speak, so you can kiss the next generation goodbye. And when affirmitive action or wellfare or the Rooney Rule or Sharia courts in Britain don't achieve the desired liberal results --- or even if they DO achieve them, as is the case with the NFL --- the standard liberal gameplan is to stuff more of it down your throat.
One of our cats is old and sick. He's lost a lot of weight recently. My girlfriend, in an attempt to give him more protein and perhaps make his final days more pleasant, has started giving him an all wet food diet. That's great, because he's rebounded somewhat. Now, this cat, MY cat long before she came along, has become a spoiled little bastard. He'll get a plate of food and come back ten minutes later for more, whining and crying and scratching. What does she do? She gives him another plate because she thinks it will appease him. And it does --- for about an hour. Now he's learned that he can get food whenever he wants it by making a big enough fuss. And without fail, she gives in. This is the politics of feline appetite. It translates directly and perfectly to the national scale. Like much of our black population (and white too, don't get me wrong) my cat is again fat, lazy and loud.
I suppose I should make my standard forum recommendation now. It's an hour and 38 minutes, but please, if you get your news from CNN and think Islam is a religion of peace with a few bad terrorist apples who just need to be smoked out of their holes in Afghanistan, please, I implore you, watch this video. It will open your eyes like nothing you've ever seen before on the subject:
