There was a 19th century Italian statesman (whose name I'm afraid escapes me) who said something to the extent of:
"If I did for personal gain what I've done for my country, I would surely burn in hell."

| I don't see that as a big issue. I imagine Thor can pick his own appearance and would want to be intimidating. A black Thor? Thats badass Actually, he's playing another Northern god, Heimdall, who guards the Bifrost bridge leading to the gods' home of Asgard. -Bill, otherwise known as Kraichgauer S... |

And to think, it took a funny man like Jon Stewart to reveal their hypocrisy. -Bill, otherwise known ... |

| It seems the lunatic racists of the conservative citizens council (used to be the white citizens council, which Haley Barbour had recently praised) are planning to boycott the upcoming movie Thor , because the northern god Heimdall is being played by a black actor.
