Now now motley.....   LOL.   You're suggesting a rule that we can't hold our wive's hand or kiss her public - NO showing sexual orientation in public!

I have no complaint with mothers, lesbians or environmentalist.   But I hate that we have become a society of identity politics.  We're consumed with what separates us from our neighbors, not what we may have in common.

Human's are a very diverse species and certainly are more intermingled both physically and culturally than at any time in history.   It's a clash of civilization, large and small, that can no longer live in isolation.    We have to learn to be civil or we'll live in perpetual anger.

That's a very idealistic hope, not one I expect to see in this lifetime — but it would be good to nudge it in that direction.  .

Later..
