Prejudice

~ Prejudice ~ O, that's a snappy book jacket That book looks interesting I think I'll buy it... Doesn't she have a wonderful smile It just lights up the universe She'd be a terrific goodwill ambassador for the WNBA*... Wow! Look at how long his fingers are Looks like he can cover two octaves on the piano with one hand I'll just bet he can really tinkle those ivies... ~ Prejudice ~ ___________________________________________________ *WNBA = Women's National Basketball Association

Indeed, performance be damned without the good fruits. I have given up on all spectator sports, and most athletes, though there are a few who are real champions.... Who speak their freedom loving minds openly. I don't follow much of what they do and say, so I am at a loss if you are referring to a particular incident.

wow, a subtle but powerful statement about prejudice. My mom always said, "prejudice is born from fear." I remember her words distinctly. Nicely done, Gershon...have a splendid Friday, Sara
