It's starting to happen, but how do you convince folks operating from a place of hate & fear to change the way they think? It never occurred to me to hate someone for the colour of their skin...

Realistically the choice will soon not be ours to make as more animals fall victim to disease and extreme weather events result in poor crop yields. There are simply too many people and too little appetite ($$$) for serious change. Earth will thin the (human) herd one way or another.

Yes, by design. These people never took a literature or history or philosophy class, much less allowed themselves to indulge in creative expression, and it shows.

I think it means you're doing something right
