The point that I was making is that race has absolutely nothing to do with behavior. Society in general has set guidelines for what is acceptable behavior and what is not and for the most part I agree with the general standard. It would be my preference that well behaved people would be the type that relaxes at home or just brings pie next door. And when an emergency comes up, that person is ready and willing to come to the rescue. Of course it is alright to have parties to chat with friends, but we don't need to go overboard and bring in drugs and excessive alcohol. Do you agree? You brought up the subject of war rather heavily. I guess you may have noticed that my article was directed a bit towards the Sept 11th occurrence. In which case, the United States people felt a strong need to teach the other countries that you can't get away with bombing our trade center. Maybe it could have been handled without war, but I doubt it. Come to think of it, I don't think the war solved the problem either, because we are not very good at kicking the bums out. Again my point in kicking the bums out is that you can not tell by race but by behavior, and in the case of war, race might be a clue, but is not definite until you determine the behavior. Would like to hear your interpretation of the relationship between war and race.
