    I cannot agree more!

    In all reality, what real difference does it make? I would hope that the real question would concern what we should do in moving forward.

    The goal is to not only heal those wounds, but also heal the situations that created them.

    OK. So what do you propose we specifically do to accomplish that?

    1. Look at the person inside, not their outside.
    2. Seize opportunities to show respect, empathy, love, plus find ways to lift up, to reach out to another.

    Two great suggestions and I agree with them. Do you see the government playing a role in this? If so, what role?

    No, we're not. If you cook out hotdogs in the backyard, you cannot say that the government is cooking out hotdogs. Government is supposed to be of the people, by the people, and for the people, but it is not THE people.

    I would still love to know what your answer is for this, WG. I see this more and more in liberals. They can describe a problem with great moral passion, but only rarely are willing to say what they would suggest the government do about it. That's the sticking point. So what do you suggest the government do about it?

    Um, who fills government offices and makes decisions? Zombies? You said it yourself: "government is supposed to be of the people, by the people..." I could be elected and so could you, if we had useful credentials. The owner of our favorite pizza take-out place a few blocks from our house has been our town's mayor (yes, that's government) for almost eight years and may run for a county or even state job. Then we'll have to find another pizza place unless he sells it to someone who offers the same menu and uses the same pizza-making ingredients and techniques..."sprinkling on the cheese, sprinkling on the cheese. We shall come rejoicing, sprinkling on the cheese!"

    I asked first. And yes, I have very strong and doable suggestions.

    Probably works better without the monetary influences and incentives, but works as well despite any issues as any other in this world.

    If you work for the gov, and you go out and buy a car, you cannot say the government has bought a car. I am "of and by" my parents, but I am certainly not my parents. You are completely confused.

    So strong and do-able that you cannot even put them in text form? Strange.

    reality is big dog; you need us little dogs and just maybe we keep you centred, and not too up yourselves with this big dog nonsense, you have a three hundred year head start on us, that is all that distinguishes us. You forget we gave you a base when you needed one after getting your arses kicked being the big dog. just like you we know loss
