    About "INTERACTION between RACES", you can't deny the effects of prejudice. And there IS RACISM! I've visited many locations in the world and have witnessed it first-hand. I've seen it in the U.S.A. (against African Americans) and I've seen it against (Hispanic people)there. In Asia--(I've witnessed it against Caucasians) and in some other places (vice-versa). And what about my own "backyard" (Canada)? I've seen it against the "RED MAN", First Nations Folks. Enough already! When are they going to learn that basically we are all the same. We may have different cultures (different paths) but we're all living in the SAME FOREST. heart smiley

    Racisim is fear of the unknown.
    When people get to know each
    other on a one on one level.
    Things change for the better.
    It has happened during peace talks.
    We all have more in common than
    differences. We all put our socks
    on one at a time. scratch

    To quote astronaut Rusty Schweikert....................

    To my knowledge, only one astronaut, Rusty Schweikert, ever let loose a stream of emotion, a truly human communication about the experience of being in space. His outburst has become a classic. Here's part of it:

    "Up there you go around every hour and a half, time after time after time. You go around across North Africa and out over the Indian Ocean, and Ceylon off to the side, Burma, Southeast Asia, and up across that monstrous Pacific Ocean -- you've never realized how big that is before.

    "And you finally come up across the coast of California and look for those friendly things: Los Angeles, and Phoenix, and there's Houston, there's home. You identify with Houston, and Phoenix and New Orleans. And the next thing is you're identifying with North Africa. When you go around in an hour and a half you begin to recognize that your identity is with that whole thing.

    "You look down there and you can't imagine how many borders and boundaries you crossed. At the Mideast you know there are hundreds of people killing each other over some imaginary line that you can't see. From where you see it, the thing is a whole, and it's so beautiful. And you wish you could take one from each side in hand and say, "Look at it from this perspective. Look at that. What's important?"

    If we know about other oil spills
    or it's brought to our attention
    do we care confused

    Just goes to show what a distorted view of what's going on in the world most of us get from watching TV and the other big media sources.

    I, for one, was completely unaware of that situation - and I don't think I will be the only one!

    Only the nations with the loudest voices seem to get heard. Sad

    I noticed that when sports, like
    football,soccer,baseball,basketball
    are in the play offs. It seems like
    the news time is filled 90% with
    details of the sport being played.
    Very little is happening in the world.
    It's as if time stands still. I guess
    that's what brings in big money all the
    advertising from the sports world. Basketball
