Amen. And I will start another thread with that in mind. There is too much selective brutality..I can say this to that person because I am more politically astute. I can demean this person because I am from a protected group. I can call other women "ho's" but now I realize I can't do that if they are basketball players. I will look around and see who it is safe to insult and demean and go for it until the tide of public opinion makes that group unacceptable to torment. Universal respect would go a long ways. It would make some marginally intolerable jobs tolerable, it would chew on the edges of poverty. It would perhaps reduce the number of massacres that we have seen lately from kids who were pushed to their limits...mg
