All good points Simon. And, ToeRag, maybe it has already begun. Maybe we are already seeing it start.

Edmung Burke said "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing" and so any start toward changing things and highlihgting hate has to be a start. Education has to be a good start as if you can get rid of some of the ignorances surrounding some of the hate and fear then things can change quite rapidly. Sadly that kind of change can also be resited by those with other agendas.

I would like to think we are seeing the start of seeing this better world unfold, slow though the process is...

Maybe I have to believe that or it all becomes so hopeless a picture
