ignorance is cheap and easy. Thinking beyond one's nose is hard.

Some of the threads and posts on DU would be more at home on FR. Some want a Disneyland/rated G country for their kids (tho' the act that created them is HARDLY rated G).

Some want a theocracy of their denomination because they're so "persecuted" by secular society. :scared:

Some want to go back to the 50's where all of "those" people (enter marginalized group) knew their "place," which is out of the public eye and not fighting for their civil rights. But they STILL have to pay taxes to support a society that refuses to serve them.

US history is so sanitized that most people don't know the reason the HBCU's exist in the first place, but they scream "racism" at the college admissions offices using race as an admission category. (I read the articles and LTTE in this week's Atlanta Journal-Constitution (www.ajc.com))

It makes me wonder if we'll grow up. I'd like to think so.

We have got to become world citizens, because the world has gotten much smaller.

Thanks for letting me add to this. I don't have long posts too often. :-)
