Bipartisan Senate group proposes ‘no fly, no buy’ gun measure
(02-18-2019, 11:04 PM)Eric the Green Wrote: (to Classic-Xer) I wish you were a bit sharper; you might realize that being more concerned with white people and white males in particular, just because you are white and male, is a narrow-minded attitude and best, and a racist attitude at worst. A truly sharp person would realize that all humans have the same rights and deserve the same basic needs met. That is something that any sharp person would care about, because rights denied anywhere is rights denied everywhere, and rights denied to anyone is rights denied to you and me too.

Well said.  This is actually a defining issue of our times.  Of all people, David Brooks, conservative columnist for the NY Times, made that case in detail, and fretted about the 60 years we have spent dividing everyone into separate camps or, worse, into single units.  We're all human and have the need for the same things, including the understanding and support of our fellow humans.  There's no future in Bowling Alone.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
