I'll think more on my words later, but to put my opinion on the table, I agree with you. If someone said I had to wave one of two flags...Lebanese or Israeli, this WASP would be proudly and vigorously waving the flag of Lebanon. But in all honesty I'd prefer that we all waved a unifying white flag. No color, no discriminating feature, no symbolism. We are just simply the human inhabitants of this gracious planet.

I don't understand the divisions we've created and the tools we use to recruit people into those divisions. I hate them and they make me sick to my stomach, but I don't know that they won't always exist. I think the trick may be to just do our part by raising our children to not buy into the rhetoric, to speak to our friends and address prejudice, to educate, to educate, to educate and to always ask questions where people try to present a black and white world. Again...this is all something I'm trying to figure out and that I'll plug into my Wrap Up. all my love, m Sun Sep 10, 06:06:00 PM 2 Comments:
