I never said I had the answer, but the problem with people these days is that they'd rather not know or care about the other and so like the saying goes: "You can't bring a horse to water but you can bring the water to the horse".<BR/><BR/>I hate to say it but the so-called 'clash of civilizations' is well underway whether we like it or not and the battle lines are being drawn everywhere from the poor suburbs of Paris to the Gaza strip, its how you deal with it that ultimately defines us as a species.

But the ability to try and reason seem to be absent in our world.Mermaid Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02726231529791645694noreply@blogger.com
