    on the other hand, things aren't so bad.
    :)

    racism is on a gradual decline.
    think.
    back in our grandparents time, a mixed marriage was not only basically forbidden, atleast one or both might get shot.
    in our parents time, it was a totall taboo still...but you'd hear about it...if you went to a big city, you could see it in some neighborhoods..and most times, neither got killed for it...just shunned from their families...
    in OUR time..
    hell, half my friends are in mixed couples (and married now with mixed children) my wife and i included - her - east indian, me white.
    thats 50%of my and my wifes close friends...
    not too shabby people..

    see..thats one good thing.

    half the problem with things today is that good news, and happy news, ...well...it doesn't sell.
    it doesn't motivate people to spend money i guess...so you dn't hear about it..

    like here's good news..
    a couple in Costa Rica adopted a child today
    a father and son, long at odds with each other, finally reconciled, in norway

    stuff like that...you just don't hear it...
    but for chrissakes, with 24 hour news and the need to feed it to the masses..well,
    people like a good gladiator show..
    so cnn and fox news bring it on..
    nothing better than the threat of fullscale war, and invasion to park people infront of a tv...
    look at all those eyeballs watching ads..
    hmmmmm...
