Have you forgotten so fast when drinking alcohol was forbidden in the US, not even a generation ago, and all the social implications it had? Have you forgotten already, Nixon the president saying that all person having a record of Paul Roberson, a black singer, signing for the liberty of the men according to civil rights, that all such people having such a record, should be declared a communist and put to prison? For that single stupid reason of having a music record at home. He said that on tv on an official anouncement to the population... Do you know than in less than ten years the kind of job that will be employing the greater percentage of population in the United States is being an agent of security? Why need so many security agents to protect Civil rights acquired from the civil war? It's an illusion you have Gloria, a nice reassuring illusion, about the US reflecting civil rights to the world and within it's country. I can say i can walk in all place of Canada, as a man, at all time, without having to fear for my life one second. As a woman, they may be some place at night i would not go alone, but still they are much few to places in the United States i would not go walk alone, for reason of race, money, sex or others. Yet i know, that even that peace of mind Canada gives, (maybe it has a link to the way it integrate's it's immigrants, poor, and else...) I know that all that peace is temporary, a grace. I won't sit on the solidity of the peace here to go judge that elsewhere. Even the poor in the US have access to food, and > shelter...even when their rights have been stepped upon, the chances are > that someone along the line will advocate for them. If i can compare the way we treat the poor here and in the States, a major difference i can see in degree, is that when we give them money to by a shelter, and survive in a bit more dignity, we don't make then fell as much that they have to feel less for that in a 'subconscious' way. Yet it generates another problem, a part of the poor don't want to work, once they have tasted this free money. Nothing is perfect...

It's a more sophisticated way of treating peoples than Hitler did, or Stalin, but yet effective. Are you blind? I'm not saying you have to see only black in the world.

Sending a bomb to tease you. Ever thought that the genes from mulattos (mix) of species, gives a superior genetically structure than those of it's parents? Shhutttt....

The same that applies to the serbs applies to you and me Gloria. We bomb the serbs on one side. The albanians are pushed out faster from our actions. On the other side we feed them as poor peoples to give ourselves a conscious. We only act as a catalyst (accelerating the process). We act from a place of "separateness" in front of our tv or computer screen. As for acting, e.g. in a simple act as buying coffee, i look from where it comes from and what percentage the family, who cultivated it makes, on it. Is it 0.5 % or 50 %, it's all the difference a single choice make daily can do. My consciousness does not feel better for this act, i was simply there making that act.

Yes, just wanted to remind you, in the way i read you, that you do sometimes reflect from a cultural background that is tied to a limited percentage of the population on this planet. I do find peaceful the reflection of an infinite horizon. Maybe you can say that you touched the 'surface' in me that keeps things boiling under, that make someone go crazy and go in and shot up a church or school. Maybe not... Who knows?
