Reply #141: in many ways yes, and I'm ashamed to admit I've also

held some very bigoted views during my life- some are so glaring that I cringe believing I actually embraced them, and others I probably still am having unveiled to me-

This question brings up quite a few issues in itself- Things all of us could do well to examine ourselves about as individuals- You are an encouragement and an inspiration to me Stefexpat-

Underdog is my 'superhero'- but even that begs the question "am I prejudiced against those who aren't 'the little guy' or the oppressed?"-

As Jewel sang to my pre-pubescent son years back- "

..........
I was thinking, that it might do some good
If we robbed the cynics and took all their food
That way what they believe will have taken place
And we can give it everybody who have some faith

So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way

I have this theory, that if we told we're bad
Then that's the only idea we'll ever have
But maybe if we are surrounded in beauty
Someday we will become what we see
'Cause anyone can start a conflict
It's harder yet to disregard it
I'd rather see the world from another angle
We are everyday angels
Be careful with me 'cause I'd like to stay that way"-

peace,
