As Groucho Marx said:<br /><br />"I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member."<br /><br />We are relative pikers in this country for that sort of thing, probably because of our relatively short history. I remember of reading about ethnic hatreds in the Balkans and one group hating another for a massacre that occurred in the 10th century. If we are doomed to remember and maintain hatreds for events that happened over a thousand years ago, what chance do we have of forgiving more recent injustices? <br /><br />We can be better than that. <br /><br /><br /><br />Sextanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02869179401767968180noreply@blogger.com
