Unfortunately, I don't think paganism would have seen the 'enlightenment' that some of the homeowners had about race, etc.. Sadly, they were just an easy family to get rid off that would not cause an uproar (pagans, Goddess love us, just aren't that organized).I do find it refreshing that they Eckhardt's were probably the nail in the coffin for the Fair Housing people. It would be interesting to know why the Asian-Americans were chosen as the first to vote out.From the Yahoo! news article "ABC gets Unfriendly 'Neighborhood' Welcome"<<"I didn't think that people would be this nervous," Andrea Wong, head of alternative programming at ABC, said before Wednesday's decision to ditch the show.
