I mean, seriously Don. I know there are some things which will fly in the face of your deepest-held tenets and principles; ones on which you have grown up all your life so that they are pretty well part of your persona.

But circumstances alter cases, as they say. And there are no cases which certain circumstances cannot alter. At least stop for a second, and question whether these humane, inclusive, anti-racist, tenets of yours are entirely adequate for dealing with what seem to me patently altered circumstances to the ones we all grew up with; ones which are not necessarily compatible with our traditional collective tenets & principles; and whether at least some measure of self-adjustment might not just be requisite to deal with the situation as it IS, now, here, in this land of ours; and not how it has always been TILL now and we should all like it still to be. If only...

That's all I ask. Please, Don. Just stop for a second and look around you & THINK whether any sort of mental adjustment or realignment might be necessary...
