Don't you ever say 'black on black crime' again

[Waiting For Everyman]

126. If people focused on getting laws changed

as much as they focus on words and controlling what others say and think, this problem would've been licked long ago.

There can be change if the path of unity is followed, or there can be ego-stroking and more of the same if the path of division is followed. The choice is there to go either way, we'll see which one matters more, to more people. Or maybe I should say enough people. Enough to get something done.

Personally, I don't care that much about the words a person uses, I care about the thought a person is trying to convey to me -- that's what I read, and consider, and evaluate by. And I'd hope that's what I'd get in return. That's what communication is. It is not one-sided, and it is not hostile -- that's bullying. That's what we're supposed to be standing against. And I intend to continue doing just that, even though I believe in the cause, the end does not justify the means.
