Thanks for your supportive comment broth...Hi Dade!<br /><br />Thanks for your supportive comment brother I appreciate it very much.<br /><br />There is a lot of similarities between South Africa and the US - you are absolutely right that it disfigures our humanity.<br /><br />We belong everywhere in my thinking and, therefore, we are responsible for taking care of everyone and everything on this beautiful planet and beyond (idealistic I know).<br /><br />I am well brother and trust the same is true for you too.<br /><br />Peace Dade.<br /><br />Onward!<br /><br />RidwanRidwanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758153484699728802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36009958.post-25751528638431343502011-02-07T20:44:17.586+02:002011-02-07T20:44:17.586+02:00Excellent post.

We're divided into "Americans" and "illegals."<br /><br />Nationalism is truly an evil philosophy. It doesn't nurture the natural love that people have for the place where they live. Rather it engenders suspicion and antipathy toward people who do not salute the same flag. <br /><br />Thanks, Ridwan!
