Regarding fish and visitors...

This story was on Neil Cavuto on Fox News, nearly a year ago:



Given a prime example of what the piece was talking about happening in my own city here in Minnesota, I can see Cavuto's point. It's long been a cultural thing in Minnesota to be "nice" to everyone; but as with respect to any instance of unlimited hospitality extended to strangers, that otherwise admirable trait is ripe for abuse by those who would benefit from it. Ben Franklin had it right when he said, "Fish and visitors smell after three days." Those in the Somali community who refuse to assimilate; instead demanding that we assimilate to their culture, are in that respect becoming an odiferous lot.
