We will also have security and promise of a future for every race. However, that's about the most ridiculous optimism that has ever come from me. I wish it would happen but the likelihood is slim to none. I can only preach one thing: Believe & Practice the Golden Rule ~ Do Unto Others, my friend.

Yet, even with the exception that I noted, isn’t this an a priori “truth”, though?
