We Are Individuals

I hate shut minds, people who never see gray. I hate rudeness, and ridiculous amounts of violence. I hate assault rifles. No one needs them. There is no reason. I hate prejudice, racism, and sexism. I hate generalizations about people. All black people… All white people…. All Democrats…. All Republicans… All women… All men… I hate shut minds and the experts who do not understand That when they shut them, they are excluding millions of people Who might show them That there is no all in any group of people We are individuals. All of us. Every One.

I am astounded when someone says "all Republicans" - because it is never true, yet, they do, and more than a bit.
