We even see the occasional post here, of those who come right out and say that the main reason they moved here...is specifically because of the lack of diversity.

The good news is that there's proof the younger generations have shown to be much less inclined to be this way and as our age group dies off and the "young'ins" reach retirement age...maybe things will change for the better.

The world as seen through a pair of dark colored glasses. Usually by people who think they are the only one that really cares. Everyone else is a bigot.


CARING is extremely easy to recognize....very easy. It is reflected in honesty of words and actions.

If you don't care, you say whatever is helpful to YOU, and if you don't care, you do whatever helps YOU. OR, you say and do different things. THAT has become commonplace.

Today's headlines and video replays reflect.
