Absolutely. People love to "believe" in differences. It's all religion and hocus pocus to me. Once you look inside people and start dissecting them, you can see our similarities are more important than our differences- at least anatomically (imo). Dead people, of course. In college. Tissue is tissue. We are all grown in the same steps from an egg and sperm. We differentiate into the same tissue layers. We have the same organs. We will all die. Our differences would be superficial if we did not strive with our wills to make them significant. I will never understand that. It is beyond my understanding. I was not born to understand that kind of thinking. Perhaps it is a kind of birth defect.

ps- it's why I much prefer to be around children. They haven't solidified into that kind of thinking yet. You can still get them to see the mirages of adulthood. They express the thoughts their parents give them only because they are modeling that kind of behavior. They dont' really believe it with their whole minds yet.
