As long as there is a them and an us, there will be no we! When there are no more exclusions based on gender, colour, religion, age or perceived disabilities (and whatever other categories you may wish to add), then perhaps we will have true equality. These problems have existed since time immemorial. You would think that our society would have advanced enough by now to find a way to fix it but instead, it looks like every once in awhile someone sticks a band-aid over the wound. It festers and erupts into a bigger problem down the road. I don't believe I will see a solution in my lifetime...

I think if "the powers at-be" wanted a "we" it would happen. It's much easier to control the masses when we're divided. I absolutely think there is much less division, at the basic level, then they want us to believe.
We have perfect examples of divide and conquer here in Nicaragua. Keep the people poor and uneducated and they are easier to control. Where our homestead is, we see less of the conflicts but in the capital city where my son lives, there have been riots in the streets since Wednesday. We live in frightening times.
Wow, you are so far away from me! And, yes, that is exactly it. Rioting is so scary, I hope your son is staying safe! I'm glad you are on a homestead away from most of the action.
