Few ima..."People are learning to shrug it off. Few imaginable developments would be more conducive to the health of our public discourse."<br /><br />This can not be said enough. It just feels so liberating to say, finally, I just don't care.<br /><br />Several years ago I read an article about two black American women who had moved to France and were staying there. They loved it, they said. When asked why, both agreed it was because the French treated them like everyone else. In fact they specifically said they would never be allowed to cut in line at a theater or store in France. People wouldn't allow it. But in the US, no one would dare say anything out of fear of being considered racist. <br /><br />Is that not just amazing?
