Opinions and differences are one of the wonders of our country here in the USA.. One of the most important things to me is knowledge and understanding. The fact that there is so much diversity, rich, poor, black, white and everything in between adds to the richness of our heritage. Sadly sometimes those same things separate us greatly. Many wrongs over many centuries have been committed, knowing one's history is a very good thing.
I won't express my opinion but would like to offer some diverse reading that perhaps will open little corners of very closed minds. Walking in someone else's shoes is not usually a comfortable experience.
