Can a persons views change? Why some don't want this...
Advertisements [?]
Hello,

I am someone who has a very long and complicated history (being published in the form of a book, in North America and overseas). I am someone who held some racist views as a youth, but definitely changed and outgrew these opinions. As it stands now, I am a healthy, fair and honest adult, far removed from the environment that as a youth allowed me to be suseptible to message of hate (even though I was never part of a group etc.). In my particular case, I was in fact the target of a manufacturing campaign by CSIS in Canada, basically "nutured" to allow for the justification of targetting me and a very poorly planned and illegal Heritage Front Group (do your research on the Heritage Front and the CSIS agent Grant Bistrow and you will learn alot about how evil our Intelligence Organization in Canada is)

I have come to some startling realization and observations. It is for the benefit of many people to have a division in society; to have hatred and racial problems and even to pretend they are concerned with the alleviation of this problem. Education, opportunity and understanding are not on the agenda if people focus on race alone. Without a doubt in my opinion the dividing issue in the globalized economy is socio-economic status. Regardless of your race, creed or religion, the focus should be on allowing everyone the opportunity to justice, wealth and power, if someone is pilfering the taxpayer of millions and millions of dollars, that is an issue, that person is the one doing a disservice, not someone down the street who has a different coloured face, speaks a different language or prays to a different God.

The person stealing money is benefiting from this division. Since it is always easy to blame problems on the most obvious (something that we can visually determine as "different); we do not see or even try to understand where the real danger lies. I am as strong a capitalist as you could ever meet, but, the creation of divisions and problems allow corruption to occur in an undemocratic and anti-capitalist manner.

Thank you for your time, feel free to comment or add your story.
