Republicans feel unfairly treated when we group them together and would probably be first in line for legislation if republicans were persecuted for just being republican. Yet they bring guns to rallies, protect corporations over rape victims, start and defend unwarranted wars and claim reverse racism as defense against their own racist actions.

We need hate crime legislation to protect us from republicans.

John,

I agree with what you said in closing. It does start at home, everything. When you are brought into this world, the idea is your “slate is clean”. Along the way, you pick up various things that help shape you. The three main things I think influence people are family (including relatives, not just mother/father/siblings), school life, and media (various forms).

For myself, I was taught general “right from wrong” such as be nice to people, show respect, help others who are in need, and so on. If you don’t have a solid foundation, you will crumble a lot easier than others. If your parents are there to instill this “foundation”, then you are pretty much out there fending for yourself, which can equate to 50/50 results.

Let’s just hope more of this hatred will fade in time.

Why can’t peace prevail in this world. Why have people to intervene in others stuff.

Very well put John. I couldn’t agree with you more. I believe anything that divides us is bad.

In the Immortal Words of John Lennon – “Imagine”

Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today…

Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace…

You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world…

You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one
