Walking Away From Hate

Submitted by Jerome Ryan, Oct 18, 2007 14:52

I don't know if you are proposing a realistic solution, but it is one I like very much. Essentially you are asking people to not be so emotional about things and not to turn foolish acts into significant events. The underlying problems in America which cause all this nonsense in the first place is what concerns me. Can you propose a solution to that? I tend to believe that it is a somewhat natural phenomenon for people that look alike generally to feel more comfortable with each other. What do you think?
