I see someone whose worldview has been tweaked, someone in whom a seed has been planted. I saw someone in whom that "crumb of introspection" is already present. Any glimmer of hope towards tolerance in one human being toward another is worth our support. One thing that needs to be understood, perhaps, is that Sacramento is incredibly diverse, and not in terms of separate ethnically- and culturally-based communities. For the most part, we just all live together, and it works. (Back in 2004--I think it was?--Time magazine called Sacramento the most ethnically diverse city in America...because of what I just described). This spirit is part of what made it work so well when the local gurdwaras took in evacuees. And I am not surprised that some of our rural neighbors' eyes were opened, even if just a little. It all counts. And seeds tend to grow once planted.
