In A Perverse Way, It's

There Were People Whom I Considered Friends Or Loved Ones Who Either Abandoned Me Or Betrayed Me In Ways I'd Never Have Suspected. But There Were Others Who Had Been Barely Acquaintances Of Mine Whose Loyalty And Efforts On My Behalf Made Me Realize That Not Everyone Was As Inherently Rotten As I'd Previously Believed. So It Caused A Violent Split In My View Of Humanity - People Turned Out To Be Far Worse And Far Better Than I'd Ever Dreamed Possible.

It Was Simultaneously Refreshing And A Bit Shocking To See How Cavalierly Most Aussies Toss Out Slurs And Insults About Nonwhites.

Equality Is A Nice Idea, But It's Entirely Impossible To Prove.

A Manhattan Lawyer Who Describes Himself As "america`s Leading Expert On The Militia Movement" Writes That He Hugged His Three-year-old Kid The Night Of The Oklahoma City Bombing. He Told Junior That It Happened "because They Hated Too Much" For Now, Let`s Accept The Premise That One Hundred Sixty-eight Humans Died In Oklahoma City Because People "hated Too Much" Now Answer These Questions If You Would Be So Kind: Did A Federal Sniper Shoot Vicki Weaver In The Face Because He Hated Too Much? Did Our Government Conduct The Tuskegee With Syphilis On Black Soldiers Because It Hated Too Much?

You Could Paper The Globe With Evidence That There Are Demonstrable Cognitive And Physical Disparities Between What Are Crudely Called Human "races." But You Could Fit All The Evidence Of Innate Equality On Your Pinkie Fingernail With Room To Spare.
