    I think you might mean the Naval Postgraduate School.

    Well, at least one other person isn't, Jonathan. This is horrible. I'll say my piece and not stay for the popcorn, thanks!

    The equating of a whole ethnic or religious group with rattlesnakes makes me very uneasy. It's designed exactly the same as the Jews / rats juxtapositions of Nazi days. You can read about that here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Eternal_Jew_(1940_film) I've seen the film. Here's a quote from the article:

    "The film utilizes a montage that juxtaposes these images of ghetto Jews with images of rats to draw an analogy between the migration of Jews from Eastern Europe with the migration of rats. For example, one of the shots shows a pack of rats emerging from a sewer, followed by a shot of a crowd of Jews in a bustling street of the Łódź Ghetto..."

    This Muslim/rattlesnake quote is "same old same old... different ethic/religious group." Never expected to read it here. I'll have none of it, thanks. I feel this is not OK, regardless of what any moderator may say.
