Very well said, Bluesmike. You have learned well from the trials and tribulations of life. If you desire peace and justice, then you must first be peaceful and just. If you wait for others to do it for you, you may wait a very long time, specially when your every action taken before them and against them belies the ideals of freedom, peace, and justice you claim to stand for.

There are no "chosen people" on this Earth, except in this sense...we are ALL the chosen people, and we either make it as ONE, with equality for all, or we don't make it at all.
