Like the video you posted earlier, Will.

Like Maya Angelou reading "Still I rise"

There ARE MORE GOOD PEOPLE THAN EVIL SHITS. And there ALWAYS WILL BE.

And if we REFUSE to be afraid,

And we REFUSE to hate,

And we EMBRACE those who are different from us,

And we CARE about those who are strangers

And we KEEP ON working for a just and equitable and peaceful world,

We



Will



WIN.

And this, I believe.

I am NOT afraid.

joyfully,
Bright

It's one thing to read about it but thanks to TV fear can be sent into you in a constant stream.

There are people GLUED to the TV to the point where they don't do simple things like mow the lawn or wash the car.

Hell, vacuuming requires they turn up Blitzer so they don't miss anything. Their life DEPENDS on it!!!

Golly, then I guess they put all those Japanese people into internment camps because they thought it would be more comfortable for them.

I guess the Red Scare of the McCarthy Era was about too much rouge making women sick.

I love stupid. It always entertains.

Chances are 20x higher you'll be hit by lightning than by a terrorist here in the USA.

That fact puts it in perspective for me, personally...
