We had never "hated" people different than us before; I blame a certain media station.

Hate is quite beyond my ken. I'll never forget setting down for breakfast in bootcamp at a table where a trooper was mouthing off about African-Americans. I told him to shut up whilst I ate my breakfast and he replied, "Well what would you do if one of them asked your sister to dance?" and I replied, "Nothing, as plenty already have," at which he shook from head to toe, his upper lip quivering like a leaf in a breeze, he grabbed his tray, left the table, and never spoke to me again.

Very Clever - why do people not understand that unity brings peace and love, as well as a good economy! Well said and though out dear friend. Hugs and love, Jennifer.

Excellent monoku, Alexis! That memo has been passed around for years, but some just fail to read it. Sad. Hugs, Carolyn

You have made a very valid point here, Alexis. On the surface it appears that hate is continually getting the upper hand, but if each of us does his/her part, love will eventually triumph. ~ Best regards, my friend. // paul

Good point Alexis. But Hate cannot stand for long when confronted by Love. Lets not beat the devil out of anyone lets Love him out. Good stuff my friend. God Bless, JB

There's plenty of hate around. To be expected especially when there is a lot of misunderstandings.
