It irritated the hell out of me, so I befriended the young man, only to discover that he was a prince of some sort and from a very wealthy family. I think he had the last laugh.Bijouxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05788630004051883635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17765202.post-3468090324382765752012-08-07T01:15:19.968-04:002012-08-07T01:15:19.968-04:00Not trying to be funny here but humans are simply ...Not trying to be funny here but humans are simply stupid creatures. Narrow minded world views that cross the line into an evil insanity are far too common for our species. After reading Jane Goodall I realize the chimps behave similarly but they do not have assault weapons, semiautomatic pistols, and ultimately nukes.Commander Zaiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000824454124236774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17765202.post-89802865385355378542012-08-06T23:29:41.761-04:002012-08-06T23:29:41.761-04:00I wrote this kewl, pithy comment but it got trashe...I wrote this kewl, pithy comment but it got trashed while signing in to wordpress. damn.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17765202.post-53805464095649169172012-08-06T21:49:42.188-04:002012-08-06T21:49:42.188-04:00On an unrelated note-

I think the type of people who go on these rampages are crazy, insane, nuts. I just don't think ignorant covers it. Apparently this guy was a white supremacist and that type of person I classify as crazy. And like my good husband always says, "you can't argue with crazy", because no matter how much logic, how much love, how much proof you throw at them they choose to believe the craziness in their heads. It is a scary world with those types of crazies running around. <br /><br />I pray...Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14339665205284492242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17765202.post-65263072880799437032012-08-06T14:51:28.939-04:002012-08-06T14:51:28.939-04:00Very fine post.

My childhood neighborhood was purely white, mostly Irish heritage, 98% Catholic. Unlike my friends, I had a father who worked for the airlines and who could whisk My Mom and myself to far-flung corners of the world at little expense. I found out that despite the "knowledge" passed around the neighborhood, people with darker skins were humans, people of different religions weren't all insane, and (Horrors!) The United States wasn't always pure in thought and deed. I also learned that my people had their rightful and honored place in society, and that the U.S. was quite good when compared to many. It's a give and take. But always valuable to learn of others and their ways, even if only to find out that your way is, indeed, better.Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17765202.post-18481067470684446582012-08-06T14:23:17.163-04:002012-08-06T14:23:17.163-04:00Resonant in any era, this post contains the simple...Resonant in any era, this post contains the simple truth and wisdom I've appreciated for the seven years I've been fortunate enough to read your thoughts.

Northern Michigan is not exactly a teeming hotbed of diversity. When I was in college at a huge state university (the student body was three times the size of my hometown), I remember how honored I felt when I befriended a black man to the point that he invited me to join him in the 'black section' of the cafeteria. . . <i>(*sigh*)</i><br /><br />Ignorance of this sort is just. . .
