This rant sparked by the latest contest message I received. Again it seems the only way to make everyone happy is to do away with all the rules and let everyone have at each other. Maybe the survivors of the massacre will learn to get along with one another.

The more we strive towards "Tolerance" and "Sensitivity" the more we're leaving others behind and branding them with the tools we're trying to create a perfect world with. I know in my country there's freedom of expression and all that but what people don't seem to realize is that respect is also involved here. We need to agree to disagree and stop trying to shove one way of life down other people's throats. Biologically speaking we're all the same. We all are bipeds and we all come from the same zoological classification. Why then are there so many protests and wars and stuff? Why must we have the "My way or the highway" attitude? Why can't we just accept someone for what they are regardless of politics? Why can't you just care about the person regardless of whether they are black, white, blind, gay, or charteuse?

I like the Fraggle Rock expression about leadership. "We all lead ourselves and we help lead our friends." Why can't reality be like that? I guess because there's too many people with their own opinion and everyone thinks theirs is correct and damn everyone else who doesn't share their views.

...Sometimes I wish I belonged to another species. One with more intelligence.
