Why you may ask, we'll I believe people are inherently afraid of those who don't believe what they believe, look like they look like, or act like they act.
I know this is a vague statement, but if you think about it! Humans have been battling each other since the beginning of recorded history. And these wars have been fought for more reasons they I can list, but the majority of wars have been fought over (1) Religion (2) Race (3) Land and or Money.
Because of these facts and the media drumming it into our consensus minds, resentment will always be fostered and reaffirmed in our multi cultured country.
I feel if we (everyone) could "Agree to disagree" - "Live and let Live" and stay out of others business...Only then may we someday bridge that gap.
But this is just my opinion...PLEASE don't take any offense...thanks..Noodles
