If we are to last as a culture we must begin to accept that we are all equal. This basic concept is the base for all Democratic societies. there is not one free country in the world that does not have, in their charter or constitution, this basic concept. Why? If the civilized nations of the world believe this to be true, is there such a proliferation of hate groups cropping up all across the Internet. These groups, composed of people who believe that certain races are responsible for all the ill's of the world, are what we must fight against. the ignorance I see put forth by these people is astounding. To believe that some one, because they are different in look or belief, is worth less than someone else is horrible. What are they afraid of, because it must be fear that causes this, coupled with extreme ignorance of course. I hope someday to be able to say, with certainty, that we have out grown this irrational hatred of others and are ready to truly take our place as champions of human rights. After all, that's why this country was founded. Peace to all, Andy
