calling them all greedy, controlling bastards. And then you wonder, "why should you be so defensive, just because I called you a greedy bastard?"

I'm broad-minded enough to know that sweeping generalizations are too often wrong. If you're black, you must be "like all those other blacks." If you're rich you must be "like all those other rich bastards." if you're Christian, you must be "like all those horrible fundamentalists."

This approach leads to nothing but prejudice, misunderstanding, and group hatreds. It's sad to see this.
