There is a great push going on that seeks to glaze over the obvious differences between "us" and "them," which includes discouraging people from trying to look too close, and I am very glad that you desire to obtain greater knowledge and understanding.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349087080262856079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819736410949843334.post-15025998689749500722008-10-09T07:08:00.000-04:002008-10-09T07:08:00.000-04:00You misunderstand what I am trying to say.
