cAPSLOCK, Sooner or later, we will all come to appreciate the differences between us as much or more than the similarities. Intolerance between individuals is the problem. Forgiveness helps. I don't believe hate serves a useful function save when applied to universal evil. <<people will usually feel sympathetic for those who a like them in various ways. The less like us someone is the most justified we feel in hating them. >>

It's like the old joke that we went to different schools together. There's ego and mindsets involved. People just have to learn to give it up - the trip. Or how about George Burn's old joke: Men and women will never get along because they want different things. A man wants a woman and a woman wants a man. But at young ages passions run hot so it takes a while for the age of logic to take over. A good sense of humor will take one far. I used to argue vehemently with an old friend of mine, his being a very liberal Democrat and my being the opposite. Now he's had a stroke and he can't speak and (respond so articulately as he always did, and we just look at each other - nothing more to say) - sadly to counter my every point. But it's better than it was 60 yrs. ago. I can vouch for that. The ensuing wars had a lot to do with that. Vietnam, for instance, finally convinced the elders that the youngsters had something to say. There's more froth than real heat now and folks have come to terms with their biases on the information highway which Harry Truman began when he integrated the Services. Angler
