ABSOLUTELY, Carol!!! That is what I have been saying for a long, long time on this forum, and it is why I sometimes come to the defence of people here whom I would generally disagree with about politics, for example.

We have got to get past this unthinking business of dividing up into opposing "sides" and believing the divisive "us and them" stuff that is foisted upon us all the time.

Every single ordinary person out there would like to see a more peaceful, more prosperous, more honest, and more fair society...and world. We have so much in common. It's just ridiculous how people are getting manipulated by their leaders and the media into fighting with each other continuously over trumpled-up political/racial/religious/and gender-based issues and excuses when they all ultimately want the same basic things out of life in order to be happy.
