this is a beautiful, complicated world we live in, with beautiful people of all kinds of skin colors, religions, philosophies, languages, orientations, cultures... it makes me sad that some people don't see the beauty that exists in these differences, and more than sad that others see these differences through a prism of indifference, or worse, through fear. in the hands of someone with power, this fear can have truly devastating consequences, as we have learned too many times.
add to this fear a measure of impunity on the side of the powerful, and we are left with the situation we have today in this country. i truly hope that someday we can embrace differences for what they are: an opportunity to learn, an opportunity to see life from a different perspective. different is not dangerous, or scary, or strange, it's a blessing.
