I believe that every generation should do their very best to leave the world at
just a little higher level of understanding and human compassion and
co-operation than preceded them.

That one had me rolling on the floor with mirth.

I can't see that you've shown a high level of understanding for the hard decision Truman had to make. I can't see that you've shown any compassion at all for his being thrust into the position where he had to make that decision. And I don't see a tinker's damn worth of cooperation with people on this thread from you.

If you really believe those things, try modeling them. Not just toward people you agree with -- it's easy to be understanding and compassionate and cooperative with your friends -- but with people you don't agree with. That's where the hard part comes.

So far, you aren't even up to and F- on that test.
