I was riding a bus from NJ to NYC the other day...

...Something I haven't done before. At one stop a whole big bunch of people with kids got on and a nearly-empty bus got almost filled. There were a couple of crying babies, but they settled down afer a bit and the bus was filled with kid chatter. I was listening to some of the chatter and enjoying it when it just really hit me -- you really have to be a truly despicable person to be a racist. How else could you listen to these bright, happy kids go on and on about their day and how happy they were to see their parents and think, "Yup. Inferior races. We'd be better off without them."

All they have is the 'lizard brain', and a sympathetic "fight-or-flight" nervous system.

They never grew the cerebrum that gives the rest of us the ability to think and reason the way we do.

It boggles my mind, as well. I think most conservatives are really just miserable, small minded, hateful people.
