Some people know – and care

Posted By on June 24, 2004 at 5:37 pm

One of the folks I receive e-mail from, on one of the many mailing lists to which I am subscribed, sent this:

Attached is a photo I took a couple of weeks ago of a movie theater in Fremont [California]. You may know that Fremont has the largest single population of Afghani people outside of Afghanistan.

Actually, I didn’t know.

He concludes:

You won’t see this one on the news.

Indeed not. But we – and the Afghan people, over here and over there – know the story.

    You’re right. We’ll never see that on the news, and it’s a damned shame.

  2. CLEARING THE BLOG FOG

    To help clear the Blog Fog, create a link and ping a TrackBack to this post… Bill TacJammer has an interesting photo coming out of California. A town, with a large Afghani population, has its movie theater marquee thanking President Bush for freein…

    Heh. I know some Iraqis. You’ll never hear THEIR comments on the news either.

    I didn’t know that about Fremont. That’s where I’ll be this weekend (at my friend’s place)

    Wow! That is very cool! Maybe FOX will show it, or something similar; that is, if they can spare some time from the Peterson case! ;)

    Hey, it’s Paul!!
    (Paul is on an email list I run and I’ve never run into him in blog comments before)

  7. Some people get it

    Check out this theatre marquee in Fremont, California (home to a large population of Afghanis)….

    You might not see it in the news but you could read it.
    The San Jose Mercury News has written a few pieces about this theater that was purchased by an Afghan business man just this year.
