I guess I'm ignorant, but I didn't realise this stuff went on so recently. Of course, I was shocked when I found out that interracial marriage was only made legal nationwide in what, 1967?
Absolutely. Yes. Me too. I really do believe that almost every person on the planet is a good person, or really, honestly strives to be one. It's just that when a person is an asshole, or worse, it's easy to notice. Good people, thank goddess, are commonplace.
Most people ARE good, or striving to be. If everyone were like Hitler or Stalin or Fred Phelps or Jerry Falwell, nobody would point them out. Of course, people point out Mother Theresa, too, because she had success with her striving.
