I have a hard time accepting the notion that ignorance and fear of the unknown causes people to resort to violence and anger.

It is HARD WORK for me to look at the world with rose colored glasses... it really is. I am not a hateful person, but I honestly have to work at being patient and kind. (If you're ever in a car with me, you will know this.  ) With that said, I try to be a good person and respect others, even if I don't agree with their viewpoints. I think that if more people at least ATTEMPTED this, we would be in a better place.

I think you're completely right about people doing what's easy. I hadn't thought to put it that way, but I think you're right on the nose with that. It's hard to look at other viewpoints, knowing you might change your mind, or, after all that, you might not (I've had both experiences).
We soooo need to take a car ride together-- I thought I was queen of chewing out other drivers, but clearly I am not. We could yell a duet! We'll put Kev in the back with earplugs.
