Premeditated, probably not. We have become a nation divided as is evidenced by media in all shapes. Instead of focusing on our samenesses, we learn early to focus on the differences. Insanity is expecting to keep doing.... and we do. Thoughtless, no doubt. Premeditated, probably not. We have become a nation divided as is evidenced by media in all shapes.

Much like that whole clip, it's the insensitivity to the issue that most confounds me. The words, symbols, are one thing purely irritating, but more than that for me is the tone. When Fuzzy went off on "fried chicken" and the like although the words themselves were emotionally charging, it was the very last part of that statement that still reverberates in my head ...."or whatever the Hell they eat..." We have a very long ways to go still! Great blog Janie. My first visit and I had to subscribe via email.
