You make great points but you are sending them to a racist who sorry to say cant be convinced. I guess bin-lenin, Well, convincing someone to think a certain way is not my responsibility. I just provide the "water", it's not decision as whether someone actually "drinks". But I am ALSO open to "drinking" from the intellectual well of others. I certainly don't believe I'm the fountain of knowlege. I know what I know, and apply certain analytical filters (power and money) to events, in order to understand why history has unfolded in the manner that it has. But it's probably a bit more on my part.. I feel the idealism that many "utopians" have. I think we all would like to see this world be a bit more tolerant, or at least far less cruel. Unfortunatey, the "golden rule" still applies (he who has the gold, rules), as well as general life being a case of "the meek inheriting the sh*t". And I recognize that unless we're willing to use coercive, an often lethal, force against those who would subjugate individual freedoms under totalitarian governments, then we'll never be permitted to realize their utopian ideals.
